Here's a funny fact - gotten from one of the Ag

Professors I know:


'Switchgrass - grows very well under harsh conditions,

thrives in most soils, doesn't need much fertilizer if
sown with a low-growing clover, generally doesn't need to
be reseeded often, can be used as forage and has some
value as hay. Primarily of interest in Ag & Chem Research
- since it has been shown to produce more ethanol per
pound, than corn.'


- LP


BTW, for those who are unconcerned about ethanol raising
corn prices 
because they don't feed corn -- what about when farmers
who are growing 
oats and hay switch to corn instead, due to higher prices
for corn? 
What will you feed your horses then?

And if we can really make ethanol from grass ...
