This study estimates the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass relative to wheat in Oklahoma. The breakeven price of … switchgrass is determined for two situations: when external consequences are ignored and when the environment costs of changes in … the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass from the internal cost only perspective is higher than the cost if the value …

optimal switchgrass supply system in Tennessee that considers both feedstock cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the … system. Results suggest that the type of land converted into switchgrass production is crucial to both plant gate cost and … GHG emissions of feedstock. In addition, a tradeoff relationship between cost and GHG emissions for the switchgrass supply …

Switchgrass, a warm-season perennial grass, native to the region, has received considerable interest for its potential … switchgrass to provide per-acre net returns equal to those obtained from traditional crops in south central North Dakota. Future … production costs for switchgrass and net returns from traditional crops were estimated for three soil productivity classes and …

Switchgrass for bioenergy production will require substantial storage. This study evaluated costs of alternative baling … and on-farm storage systems. Rectangular bales minimize cost if switchgrass is processed immediately after harvest …. However, round bales minimize cost if switchgrass is stored under cover for 200 days before transporting to the biorefinery …

Switchgrass, a warm-season perennial grass, native to the region, has received considerable interest for its potential … switchgrass to provide per-acre net returns equal to those obtained from traditional crops in south central North Dakota. Future … production costs for switchgrass and net returns from traditional crops were estimated for three soil productivity classes and …

fuel. Switchgrass is considered a potential feedstock in various states, including Tennessee, because of its good yields on … profitability of switchgrass-based bioenergy. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal logistics configuration for a … collection/distribution hub to market Tennessee-produced switchgrass for bioenergy production. A mathematical programming model …

-based simulation model to study farmers’ switchgrass adoption decisions over time within a specific agricultural region. We explicitly … the introduction of switchgrass in the region of North Michigan. …
