Re: Vogel and his colleagues found that ethanol produced from switchgrass yields 540% of the energy used to grow, harvest, and process it into ethanol.

Sounds great but there is one things I'd like to know, corn is sold by the bushel, how is this switchgrass measured for sale?

Switchgrass is measured by the Big Round Bale, which is often abbreviated on the web as BRB....you see it mentioned in chat-rooms a lot.
