(NET Radio) - Yesterday we heard a report about an ongoing study in eastern Nebraska, where scientists are growing trees and grasses alongside ordinary corn and soybean fields. They're hoping to develop innovative ways of growing plants that could one day be turned into cellulosic ethanol, while minimizing the environmental impact. Today, Sarah McCammon reports on how such a model might go over in both the conservation and agricultural communities. © Copyright 2010, NET Radio
