Baling right out of the back of the combine is about as good as it can get for the cellulosic ethanol folks. They actually only want the cob because it has the most energy but separating the cob from the husks is more complicated, so they settled on baling the cobs and the husks that come out of the back of the combine. They do not want the stalks and leaves nor do they want any dirt that might get in when the windrowed cob/husks are picked up off the ground with a regular baler. What's being baled now is what falls out of the back of the combine with the chopper removed, and whatever leaves that might be laying between the center two rows behind the combine.
