Miscanthus is less economically vulnerable than many other crops because it requires no fertiliser and very little diesel, reducing production costs and limiting the impact of fluctuations in fertiliser and diesel prices. This graph compares the costs of growing wheat with those of growing miscanthus, highlighting the differences in their economic sensitivity to fertiliser and diesel inputs.

Harvesting Miscanthus

01/05/2026

Miscanthus is baled in the spring, after the crop has dried naturally over the winter in the field. It is typically baled at around 15% moisture content, ensuring good quality and storage stability. One of the key advantages of miscanthus is its strong net margins, largely because it requires minimal inputs once established.

To harvest Miscanthus, we use forage harvesters to cut the crop, which is then laid into a swath and left for several days to dry. Once the moisture content reaches the desired level, the material is baled.
