The giant miscanthus was developed at the University of Mississippi and provided from a high yield plot by Repreve Renewables. Under more routine growing conditions, we estimate yields of about 3,000 gallons/acre should be achievable throughout the Midwest by selecting the proper energy crop for local conditions.
