Perennial Grain Development & Kernza · Salina, KS
Serves: Kansas
The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas is developing perennial grain crops — led by Kernza (intermediate wheatgrass) — as a regenerative alternative to annual grain farming. Perennial roots eliminate tillage, dramatically reduce erosion, and sequester far more carbon than annual crops. Commercial Kernza flour and products are now available through their farmer partners.
