Miscanthus Research at the University of Illinois
The first side-by-side trials of miscanthus and switchgrass in the U.S. were established on the new South Farms at the University of Illinois in June, 2002. Yields achieved so far indicate that if miscanthus were grown on 10 percent of Illinois farmland, it would provide 50 percent of the state’s electricity, and at current energy prices would be highly profitable to Illinois farmers. Research on environmental impacts is underway.
