Are you paying high for gas in Arkansas? Do not worry Arkansas State University Assistant agriculture scientists’ finds out that Arkansas is suitable place for bio-energy. In co-ordination with Dr. Kevin Humphrey and Dr. Steven Green demonstrated how the bio-energy crops are grown and process from it.
Dr. Steven Green explains that now day’s different country like Brazil, Canada and different European countries are aware of alternative energy. So, they are extracting ethanol form the different grasses. Different kinds of grass such as Sky skippers, Gamaya grass, Sugarcane usually produce high bio-fuels.
Soil scientist Dr. Green is experimenting different bio-fuel crops usind different kinds of fertilizers. “All of the bio-fuels crops can be successfully grown at Arkansas, this place is suitable to grow the
crops” Dr. Green said. During the field visit of Agricultural communication class Dr. Green also explains that there are several procedures to extract fuels from crops which might cost a lot. “So due to these reasons farmers of Arkansas might not get the suitable market” Dr. Green explained. But recently, Paragould bio-en
Likewise, Dr. Kevin Humphrey said “In all regions of Mississippi Delta regions bio-energy crops such as Miscgnthaious, Sky-skippers can be grown”. Director of agriculture lab Dr. Humphrey demonstrated the class of agricultural communication how the bio-fuels are extracted from the grass and run the vehicles.
Dr. Humphrey seems to be unsatisfied with the government behavior to produce and said that “due to the political interfere in alternative source of energy it is taking long time to come in the market for the costumers”. Not only the sky skipper’s soybean, Camel ion and other different crops can be also use for bio-energy.
During the field visit by agricultural communication class to agricultural lab Dr. Green also explains how the fertilizers are used and what is different between the natural fertilizer and the chemical fertilizer. “If the farmers do not have the proper knowledge of fertilizes then they might spoil the land and crops too”.
Dr. Green added that the waste materials from human are good fertilizers for the cultivated land. Even provides the example of Tyson production. Tyson uses the chicken manure on certain land at the edge on river which creates the problem in the area of river like people cannot get fresh water, fishes in the rivers are killed and there also problem for irrigation due to the amount of high fertilizers.
