Summary:
The use of straw as a heating fuel on the farm is growing in popularity because it helps to reduce the farm’s dependency and related expenditures on fossil fuels and electricity, and it provides a practical and environmentally acceptable alternative to stubble burning. An inexpensive supply of fuel is usually close at hand. Most grain farms produce enough straw each year to supply a straw-burning system. However, even if straw for fuel must be purchased, it is usually a worthwhile venture. PAMI gratefully acknowledges the funding assistance provided by the Canada Manitoba Agreement on Ag Sustainability (CMAAS) for the research on this project.
