Thank you USDA's North Central Region (NCR) Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Farmer-Rancher grant program

This blog is being created and monitored to document the work of growing giant miscanthus grass. My father and I received a grant From the NCR-SARE to grow miscanthus for propagation and monitor the soil health throughout the process of standard growth and harvesting.
Titled " Growing and Propagating Giant Miscanthus for Biomass Production and Natural Resource Conservation"
I am for one thrilled as this is my open door to begin farming. This also a great opportunity for my father to learn a new plant to grow and maintain. We are very conservation minded when it comes to land husbandry and we want to determine if miscanthus is really the right fit for us.

The results from this study will be shared here and in local newspapers and interested citizens.
