Giving Thanks for Unusually Warm Weather

November 27, 2009

BY Rona Johnson

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that you didn't have to come back to work on Friday like I did.

Thanksgiving Day for me went off without a hitch. The one thing that we all worry about this time of year in North Dakota is the weather. But it's been fantastic, which is not normal, but we'll take it. There wasn't even any frost on the ground when I got up this morning.

The unusually warm weather is a welcome relief to farmers here as wet conditions pushed planting and harvest back. Now I think they are caught up and can hunker down for the winter.

Here at Biomass Magazine, we've put the last issue of 2009 to bed and are getting ready to start putting together the first issue of 2010. In it we will be covering a controversy in California over the permitting of anaerobic digestion facilities; examining biomass power plant emissions and what plant operators do to monitor and reduce those emissions; providing a sneak preview of the biomass facilities that will be featured in tours at our Pacific West Biomass Conference & Expo that will be held Jan. 13 in Sacramento, Calif.; and taking a look at plant called the Jerusalem artichoke and it's potential as a biomass feedstock.

As always, I hope you enjoy the magazine and will let me know if there is some issue, technology, feedstock or project that you'd like to see covered in the magazine.
