Conduct field scale demonstration projects with at least 10 crop producers within Virginia’s Coastal Plain where the variable rate, sensor based nitrogen delivery system known as GreenSeeker™ is compared to the standard nitrogen application method used by the producer. Over the life of the project, GreenSeeker™ will be demonstrated on a total of at least 1,600 acres of small grains and at least 1,600 acres of corn.

2011
This project will demonstrate and evaluate new methods in biomass digestion technologies for mitigating animal mortality and food waste disposal by using portable digesters on-farm, to provide biomass solutions in markets where previously unavailable and to replace existing practices of composting, burying, landfills, burning and open pond digestion, offsetting operational costs (water, gas, and electricity). It will make the connection between anaerobic digestion and the direct, beneficial effects on the soil.
