Dear Readers:

John Deere has launched an Educational Woody Biomass website that I think you'll find very useful. The user-friendly site includes short videos with third-party experts discussing woody biomass harvesting
benefits to the environment and to the livelihood of rural communities, as well as explaining how it is used as a fuel source.

Best wishes,
Craig Rawlings
