Abstract
As the search for renewable energy sources from agriculture intensifies, many
agricultural producers are contemplating production of a native perennial grass species,
switchgrass (Panicum Vigratum, L.). While much information on various aspects of
switchgrass production exists, this paper discusses implications of two alternative
harvesting and transportation methods that may be suitable for Arkansas conditions.
Results suggested that module building compared to the simpler round baling technology
may be a promising alternative.
