This partnership project will meet the need for practical guidance in growing and producing renewable, sustainable grass pellet fuel on the farm. We will carry out a careful investigation of the operations at Wood Crest Farm in Wapwallopen PA, and create a case study document that shares methods, techniques, economics, and lessons learned in the process of getting started as a grass pellet maker. This information will be extremely helpful for farmers wishing to produce renewable grass energy in the Northeast, and will be distributed both in print and electronic formats, through Penn State Extension, E-Extension and the Grass Energy Cooperative.
