Map of the state of Kansas with colors indicating biomass production potential. Most of the state's counties can produce 1-500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county from crops and crop residues. More than 500 thousand biomass tonnes/year/county can be produced from crops and crop residues in Finney, Meade, Gray, and Haskell counties. Follow the link to view the full size image.
