as the price of fuel rises(and it will) it might be something to look into if your a farmer.

well it may be something to look into but I dobt fuel will stay this high for long (not thate a good venture will not survive) and as the price of grain rises (you bet it will), ethanol won't look as sweet.

In the documentary I watched I think they were planning on useing straw also.So now an unproductive feild can start making money.

great in the North and even better int he States where there is irregated corn but Sothern Sask and Alta can't grow corn.

Last year working in central Alberta I filled my cooler with corn right from the fields every day and Taber Alberta(southern) has corn that's on par with Creston corn or better,hell of a corn fest there every year. And I didnt see any irrigation there either.At any rate it doesnt have to be corn,anything that grows can be used.Grain is another favourite.

Taber corn ROCKS!

Would be that be done in the same plant? I think cellulose conversion is years off and would benifit more from switchgrass then wheat straw.
