Is there a market for switchgrass for biofuel and how do I get started?

Currently, there is no open market for switchgrass. Switchgrass for biofuel is normally produced under a contractual arrangement. After a person has a satisfactory contract, the producer should consult with the end user to confirm product requirements and specifications, such as plant variety and in what form the switchgrass is to be harvested.
