But I think this is a trick...to make switch grass a subsidized crop...because I don’t believe it has any value on its own...so farmers wind up getting paid premium for something they would never even think of growing.
The one good thing about switch grass is that it can be grown on what is otherwise a farmer’s unarable land. I think there is room for debate on whether or not its a good idea to jumpstart this idea with subsidies esxpecially as a sop to the farmers for stopping their ethanol subsidy.
