Ownership characteristics, production barriers, and landowner attitudes toward producing biomass for energy feedstocks on marginal land in the Great Lakes region: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6914135
Rural landowners in the seven-state Great Lakes region were interviewed by telephone during the summer of 1985 to assess: the land ownership pattern for marginal land; the barriers to biomass production on marginal lands; and the attitudes of landowners toward the growing of energy feedstocks. Three biomass production systems were considered: the collection of agricultural crop residues, herbaceous crops grown exclusively for energy, and short-rotation forestry.
