  Finding something to do with agricultural waste is useful. There's so much of it already. Doing it profitably is hard. People have been trying hard for a century. Henry Ford was into this. It's possible to make something like particle board from bagasse, the waste from sugar cane. But it's never become big. Corncobs and corn silk are available in huge quantities, but other than animal feed, not much is done with them. The energy input, processing cost, and transportation cost usually defeats this, because what you get out is usually a low-value product.
