Mr. Mike Quinn:

That is our intent. We have had successful trials on the 650 acres on which we are growing willow crops. They have exceeded expectations. We need 15,000 hectares of willow crops to generate 300,000 tonnes of biomass and we would need between 800 and 1,000 people to maintain and harvest that.
