• Ellen measuring prairie vegetation diversity and biomass at Roeslein Alternative Energy. STRIPS is curious how perennials, like prairie plants, can add value to a farmers bottom line. In addition to improving water quality, reducing soil erosion, and providing wildlife habitat, Roeslein Alternative Energy is utilizing prairie as part of their diverse herbaceous feedstocks they incorporate into their manure digesters. Those digesters harness the power of microbes that convert the manure and biomass into natural gas. That natural gas can then be used to generate renewable heat and energy! #prairiestrips #facesofstrips #renewableenergy #prairie #wildlife #iowastate
