Does anyone have any information on where the Giant King Grass has been planted. With 1,000 to 1,500 acres, I would assume that it would be planted on multiple farms. The Tibbar Energy web site says that grass was planted in September.

First I've heard of it, but I did hear that there were some people on island a few weeks ago doing a site survey for a solar farm out east somewhere.

The project is located on the south shore east of Hovensa on the old cattle ranch land. There is a sign up next to the road. It looks to me like a test plot has been planted, but not the entire proposed area yet.

Southshore road, south side, between Art Farm and columned entrance to Ha Penny access road.
