I thought he had erred. In early reports I thought they mentioned marsh grass like salt march cord grass and I thought difficult to harvest.

Looks like switch grass is a better product and a boon for agricultural land that is rapidly becoming unproductive as old folks die off.

I haven't seen the cost benefit figures yet however.

Last week I uncovered all my old solar collector files dating from the 70's. Need to study up.

Aren't corn, wheat and barley grasses?
