The school of agriculture recently acquired a bio-burner, a device that converts biomass into energy. Rick Jones, Bio-Burner representative, explains that the bio-burner is capable of running off of any bio-product as long as it has less than 35 percent moisture at any size under two inches. The bio-burner recently placed in the Garrett Center was fired up for the first time Wednesday. Jones said the school of agriculture could use horse manure, sawdust shavings from the horse barns, straw or other small plants. Austin Ramsey || The News
