Round switchgrass pellets, resembling small pieces of wood, rolled off machines at Midwestern Biofuels in Wurtland as the crop from a biomass research project at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture was pelletized for the first time.

In looking further in to the subject of racist inequalities in the city of Lexington, Kentucky I choose to gather information by interviewing someone that has a surplus of experience in knowing about the happenings of Lexington.
