EE Participates in Celebrate Ag Day – March 20, 2009
March 22, 2009
Enviro Energy was honored to Participate in this year’s Celebrate Ag Day event. Below is the Chenango County Farm Bureau’s announcement of the event:
Celebrate Ag Day March 20, 2009!
Please join Chenango County Farm Bureau at the Silo Restaurant, Coventry, NY on March 20th at 11:30 am for our Annual celebration of Agriculture Day in Chenango County.
This year marks the 36th Anniversary of National Ag Day, which occurs every year on the first day of Spring. That’s over 30 years of recognizing agriculture’s role in American life. Every American should understand how food, fiber and renewable resource products are produced and should value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy, providing safe, abundant and affordable products, a source of renewable energy, and a world of job opportunities. That’s certainly an achievement worth celebrating!
As the world population soars, there is even greater demand for the food, fiber and renewable resources that the United States produces.
This years Theme is “Sowing Seeds Today…for our Energy Needs Tomorrow”
The program is scheduled from 11:30 am – 3:00 pm and will feature an excellent Buffet luncheon.
We will also have several speakers and presenters on the subject of Energy such as:
* Chris Callahan/Callahan Engineering and State Line Farm – Crop-Based Biofuels and production
* Bob Houser of the So. Tier Agriculture Energy Project – Biodiesel processing plant using locally grown fuel crops.
* May and Bob Miller of Enviro Energy – Fuel Pellet production from locally grown crops.
Please plan to attend.

On the Bright Side: Open House Set for Pellet Project
March 7, 2009
An article about the three-year pilot Delaware County Grass Bio-Energy Project appears in the March 7th edition of The Daily Star and discusses Enviro Energy’s important contribution.
“…Kiraly said the local project became possible when Bob and May Miller of Franklin, owners of EnviroEnergy LLC in Wells Bridge, purchased equipment to make grass pellets.
The Millers have been purchasing hay from Delaware and Otsego County farmers in a 40-mile radius. They then grind and pelletize it, selling it by the bag to homeowners who primarily used wood pellets in their pellet stoves….”
