NOVELTY - The management method involves harvesting above-ground corn residue on the corn growers behalf after corn growers have harvested the corn grain. The harvested corn residue are baled in rectangular bales which are stored on the corn grower's property. The bales are transported from corn grower's property to pre-processing station of a corn residue combustion and steam generate facility, where the bales are reduced to form reduced corn residue. The reduced corn residue are combusted in a furnace at the same facility to produce heat. The heat from furnace is used to generate steam in a boiler.    USE - Management method used for managing and utilizing excess corn residue in system using biomass as fuel for generating power. Can be used for managing excess above-ground corn residue and for generating steam.    ADVANTAGE - Assists high yield corn growers in their effort to effectively manage excess corn residue while concurrently generating power from the excess corn residue. Provides a method for effectively harvesting and baling corn residue, and for effectively using harvested corn residue as a primary fuel source in a steam generation facility. Helps corn growers to effectively solve their excess corn residue problems while concurrently being compensated for their excess corn residue. Provides a method that benefits the community at large by providing power from a bio-renewable fuel source while simultaneously creating local jobs.
