the harvesting of the food including soy wheat corn rice and oats the food chain is not impacted by use of these stalks and straw currently most of the straw or stalk is burned tilled under for soil amendment or otherwise disposed of use of this stalk or straw for paper paperboard and related products and absorbent products manufacture including any product made from cellulose fibers represents an opportunity to provide additional income to farmers and a green alternative to wood pulp and therefore conserve trees application_number US 201213506851 A description the fibrous product mixtures of the present invention are annual crop fibers from wheat straw and soy stalks processed to coarseness levels diameter and length suitable to the requirements of the end use the soy and wheat fiber of the present invention can be digested refined and converted to end products at the at the same process conditions which provides the unique ability to use a broad range of soy and wheat fiber mixtures of about 5 soy 95 wheat to about 95 soy 5 wheat by weight for absorbent products the fibers have a high degree of wettability and water retention a high coarseness and long fiber length achieved by medium level of digestion cooking and low level of refining also the fibers are re fiberizable from a wet laid paper board or an oven dried particle or crumb the term re fiberizable is defined as the ability to be separated into individual fibers cells or fibers containing multiple fiber cells by suitable process equipment such as a hammer mill these re fiberized materials will have low knots.
