This project is divided into two budget periods (BP) separated by a Go/No-Go decision. In the first BP (BP1), funds will be used to design and build new and/or improved harvesting and conduct a Go/No-Go review meeting. The equipment design and build is handled by companies that currently manufacture forage harvesting and handling equipment in their normal course of business. While these design/build activities are happening, the project will also perform baseline testing of current harvest, storage, and transport costs for several herbaceous crops using the currently available technology/equipment. Assuming a positive outcome of the Go/No-Go review meeting, the project will proceed to demonstration of the newly designed/built equipment and performance evaluation activities in BP2.
