Researcher discusses biofuels with farmers
Coverage by the Valdosta Daily Times of a presentation made by the Engineering Outreach Service at a Lowndes County Agricultural Extension meeting.
As fuel prices continue to mount, many area farmers, loggers and
others in agribusiness have started hunting ways to make transportation
and agricultural uses for fuel more economical — that includes the
production of biofuels.
The University of Georgia Extension program in Lowndes County hosted their first meeting Thursday evening on the topic, and a crowd of approximately 80 farmers, agriculture officials and others interested in the latest information attended.
Dan Gellar, a member of the UGA engineering department faculty who has researched biofuels for more than 12 years, made the presentation.
