Roeslein Alternative Energy is working with internationally recognized research institutions, Iowa State University (ISU) and Penn State University (PSU), as part of a multi-institutional consortium focused on a Sustainable Agricultural Systems Program grant awarded from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute for Food and Agriculture. This consortium is titled the Consortium for Cultivating Human and Naturally reGenerative Enterprises, or C-CHANGE, and RAE joined these efforts in 2020. https://hubs.la/Q02Z6TSn0

Leading research institutions ISU and PSU are hosting informational webinars on topics ranging from digester economics to the emerging science they have uncovered through years of dedicated field research.

A recent article in Iowa Farmer Today examines nutrient loss reduction strategies in the U.S. Midwestern states of Iowa and Missouri. Notably, 2024 marks a decade since Missouri, the "Show-Me State," implemented its nutrient loss reduction plan. In Iowa, the state's approach focuses on maintaining soil fertility by monitoring critical metrics, including cover crops, tillage practices, and the application of synthetic fertilizers. Nutrient loss, namely nitrogen and phosphorous, from non-point sources like agricultural run-off, negatively impacts farmers' profitability, diminishes soil productivity, and contributes to hypoxia zones in the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River.

Roeslein Alternative Energy's Horizon II project, part of the USDA's Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities Grant program, seeks to reduce the nutrient loss on farms by promoting a cyclical model that enhances on-farm energy production, ecological services, and wildlife restoration for small and mid-sized farmers in Iowa and Missouri. Over the next five years, we aim to plant over 40,000 acres of winter-hardy cereal rye cover crop material and restore an additional 40,000 acres of prairie harvested for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production in Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa.

Nutrient loss from Midwestern fields has caused problems for farmers and in the faraway waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
