Cup Plant Outperforms Silage Maize as a Sustainable Bioenergy Crop The cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) offers an ecologically advantageous alternative to silage maize for bioenergy production. This is the conclusion of a multi-year comparative study conducted by researchers at the University of Bayreuth. Their findings have now been published in the journal GCB Bioenergy.

Today is my good friend @starlighthawk.bsky.social's birthday, so I decided to do a fun 2-page comic as a gift. His OC Silphie is in a... different scenario than she's used to, but I'm sure she'll make it through.
