How do I grow switchgrass to provide biomass to be used in the production of biofuels?

Answer: 

Switchgrass is a perennial grass native to North America. There are a number of considerations regarding production methods. Switchgrass takes as much as 2-3 years to reach a fully established, mature stand. Additional details regarding production and harvesting can be found in the CenUSA Fact Sheet Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) for Biofuel Production. Contributors: Clark Garland and Tina Johnson, University of Tennessee.
