Research Project: Implementing Sustainable Landscape Designs for Midwestern Bioenergy Supply Systems - Ames

Location: Soil Management Research

Project Number: 5060-11610-003-010-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Mar 1, 2021
End Date: Aug 31, 2021

Objective:
Facilitate implementation of a landscape design process for integrating cellulosic feedstock production into existing agricultural production systems within two feedstock supply sheds.

Approach:
Large plot and field-scale cropping system studies will be implemented and harvested using equipment provided by or supplied by other cooperators. Technologies for enhanced single-pass differential corn stover harvest will be developed and evaluated at various sites throughout Iowa and possibly in near-by states.
