Specific Results

1. Corn Stover Yield (NREL.gov)
   "Corn Stover, the material remaining on the surface after the grain is collected, is the largest underutilized crop in the U.S. About 250 million dry tons, dt, is grown annually, triple the amount 50 years ago. Removing the excess after soil erosion needs are met can reduce the need to till, increase farmer income and provide 100 million dt or more for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials."
   
   "One pass harvest of both grain and stover, wet storage and rail transport to the processor appear to be advantageous, with a delivered cost of $30/dt while returning more than $30/acre net income to the farmer." 06-09
