Morrisville, NY -- A series of meetings are scheduled to discuss the possibility of growing biomass energy crops in Central New York. A recent study shows that about 120,000 acres may be available to produce biomass energy crops in Central New York. This and other findings from a recently-completed farmer and landowner survey will be the focus of several upcoming local meetings.
Recent grants from the NY Farm Viability Institute, housed in Syracuse, have supported the development of information about how to grow biofeedstock, including shrub willow, switchgrass, castor oil, pennycress and more.
