To support interest in renewable energy sources, NNYADP small grants projects pioneered grass-for-energy trials and on-farm entrepreneurship associated with developing local\/regional bio-energy crops and enterprises. For example, farmer Tom Lee of Madrid, NY, built his own pelletizer and developed a partnership with local businessman Jim Thew to supply bioenergy briquettes to heat an apartment complex in Waddington, NY.<\/p>\n
