Hi Daniel, I am based in Australia. I know the cost of the wheat / paddy straw, but I am concerned about the environmental pollution caused by burning off, the part of paddy straw left after harvesting. The burning causes the damage to the soil and also release huge amount of carbon into the air.
Specially in Northern India there is a huge problem, when all the farmers burn the paddy leading to air pollution twice a year. The bio char can improve the soil quality and also prevent air pollution. regards, Terrey On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 10:11 PM, Daniel Dimiduk <[email protected]> wrote: > Terrey, I don't know where you are located but I just priced a load of 50 > square bales of wheat straw at $4.50/ per bale here in Ohio.
