    As a consumer, needing about 3T of pellet fuel per heating season , where would I buy your pellet fuel? I live in the town of Wayland in Steuben Co. NY. I have used wood pellets with very good results,but would rely be interested in grass or hay etc. pellets. I have the equipment to haul up to 8T. Is your product sold with in a 50 mile radius of this area? Please respond. Thanks.

    Frederick,

    Thank you for stopping by. We will be selling wood and grass pellets right from our manufacturing facility in Wells Bridge. I will contact you with more information via email.

    Thanks again

    how distant do you think it is worth trucking the bales from? I understand you are paying $60 for essentially brush hogged field materials.

    What do you pay for hay that is just grass but not high quality grass?

    Thank you. Elizabeth (Betsy)

    Betsy,

    We have had farmers bringing in bush hogged hay from about 40 miles. With the price of fuel in the fall that seemed to be the limit.Of course as fuel fluctuates that can change also. Each trucker knows his mpg. and size of truck or trailer and figures accordingly.

    Your other question….We are not buying ” just grass”. It is reported to have a higher ash content. For us, the stemmier and more mature the better. Reeds canary grass would be a good choice if anyone is wanting to plant a grass just for the purpose of making grass pellets.

    Thanks for your interest in Enviro Energy and for your interesting questions!

    what about golden rod?

    We can use old hay, ruined hay, hay that got rained on. Okay if it’s full of goldenrod and multiflora roses.

    Thanks!

    Mike– this blog is excellent! I really like the idea that farmers can sell you hay that is otherwise of little value. In the work I have been doing on budgets for grass-fuel enterprises, I find that every time there is an opportunity to make use of an underutilized resource that somebody just “has around the place,” that helps the bottom line. Enjoyed our visit to see your impressive operation; this idea of using hay that has little other economic value has been one of my strong opinions on how to make grass biomass work– marvelous to see you doing it.
