Farmers Harvesting Corn Cobs? Written on November 4, 2009, by Josh.Baynes.

A new ethanol plant is expected to be built in the northwest Iowa town of Emmetsburg that will turn corn cobs into ethanol.  Typically, corn cobs are left on the ground after a combine harvests corn, but now farmers may have reason not to leave them because it could mean cash in their pockets.  Farmers recently gathered in Emmetsburg to watch demonstrations of cobs being harvested with new equipment from Case IH and John Deere.  To read more on that story, go here:  http://tinyurl.com/ygzbbsv.

From what I have gathered from my farming mentors, the biomass (stalks and corn cobs) left on the ground after harvesting leaves behind nutrients that future crops use to grow.  This brings up the question of whether or not taking corn cobs off the field will bring down yields?
