Latest numbers for prairie strips in the Conservation Reserve Program (CP43). Not shown here are acres in CO, TN, & MD. MO has no CP43 but some are coming in 2022, acres listed are private acres we've helped establish. 14K+ acres in 14 states! Illinois is crushing it!

What in the world is miscanthus? It’s a new biofuel crop being studied right here at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation in Illinois — developed to revitalize rural communities that have suffered from the downturn in mining and other industries.

Always happy to talk #bioenergy, #feedstocks — especially #miscanthus — and #regenerativeag with such an enthusiastic supporter! Come back to see our University of Illinois Energy Farm with full fields, Secretary Jennifer Granholm!

The 2022 Crop Advantage meetings will give producers a solid foundation of current research-based crop production information to help make smart, informed decisions for their farming operation. extension.iastate.edu/news/crop-adva…

Commercial Miscanthus harvest happening now in Eastern Iowa! Really cool to see a conventional livestock operation, solar panels, and next gen biofuel feedstocks all in the same field. Welcome to Iowa! Photo credit: Travis Hedrick, AGrowTech #ThisIsIowa #Bioenergy

Many layers of complexity!

A little snow never stops our #CABBI researchers from working in the field! 🌨️ 🌾 Postdoc Shah-Al-Emran worked with Nic Boersma, Jacob Studt and Bryan Petersen on end-of-season miscanthus harvesting at our Iowa State University SABR Farm! Winter #FieldFriday ❄️

A new #CABBI study in Global Change Biology Bioenergy provides a basis for nitrogen application recommendations and optimal rotation age for #miscanthus and switchgrass — and shows these crops grow as well on low-productivity land as they do on high-productivity land. 📰 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

Weather is not feeling like spring in Iowa, but still doing #FieldworkFriday Harvesting miscanthus!!

It's always a great Friday when you get to spend it in a miscanthus field collecting residue data! #FieldworkFriday

Meet our newest CABBI #Sustainability investigator from Iowa State University! 🙌 Assistant Prof. Marshall McDaniel, a Chicago-area native who did postdoctoral work in Australia, is back in the Midwest to study soil-plant interactions at Iowa State Agronomy! Profile ➡️ cabbi.bio/soil-plant-int…

A sure sign of spring on this #FieldFriday! 🌱⛅️ The #miscanthus has emerged at the Iowa State University Sustainable Advanced Bioeconomy Research Farm! #CABBI scientists compare water, energy, nutrient & greenhouse gas exchanges of bioenergy crops with other crops. 📷 Bryan Petersen

It's a busy time for the Andy VanLoocke lab at the Iowa State University Sustainable Advanced Bioenergy Research Farm! The miscanthus is almost waist high, and the sorghum has been planted! At left, Bryan Petersen takes photosynthesis measurements on miscanthus. #FieldFriday 🌱 ☀️

CABBI partner AGgrow Tech is featured in a Delmarva Chicken Association cover story about farmers growing #miscanthus for chicken bedding! Farmers say it’s better for agriculture, chickens & the environment. 🐔 CABBI's #Sustainability team will help assess the fields! ➡️ dcachicken.com/media/docs/del…

We are excited to meet in-person at our annual #CABBI retreat this week! What a perfect day to kick things off with a bioenergy crop tour at the University of Illinois Energy Farm - complete with a drone demonstration!

The #CABBI 2022 retreat is off to a great start with a welcome from Director Andrew Leakey of University of Illinois! The morning session also featured updates on CABBI's three #bioenergy research themes - Feedstock Production, Conversion, and Sustainability.

Super exciting to be having an in-person CABBI annual retreat and to be featuring the undergrads in our RISE and iGEM programs cabbi.bio/news/outreach/

Thanks to Wendy H Yang, @CBernacchi and Joshua Rabinowitz for their "Bioenergy 101" presentations! Look for their talks on isotope labeling, high-throughput phenotyping & understanding 'omics on the #CABBI website. ⬇️ 📽️ More Bioenergy 101 videos: cabbi.bio/about/bioenerg…

Our researchers have participated in some great discussions and collaborations at the #CABBI 2022 retreat! #WeAreCABBI 🌱
