Image Number K10668-1 **Caption for September 2012 *Agricultural Research* magazine article, "Finding the Right Biofuels for the Southeast: A Range of Alternatives."** Technician David Verdun transplants energy cane seedlings into the field. In 2012, over 24,000 germplasm seedlings were transplanted. Several may prove to have potential for bioenergy use. **Caption for October 2008 *Agricultural Research* magazine article, "Research Helps Set the Stage for Ethanol . . . Southern Style."**Technician David Verdun transplants sugarcane seedlings into the field. The operation includes annual transplanting of about 8,000 seedlings as candidate varieties for bioenergy use. **Caption for September 2003 *Agricultural Research* magazine article, "Raising Cane: ARS Research Benefits Sugarcane Growers and Processors."**Technician David Verdun transplants sugarcane seedlings to the field. He supervises and assists in the annual transplanting of about 125,000 seedlings. About one-third are wild derivative genotypes originating from crosses performed at Houma, Louisiana; two-thirds are commercial types largely from the ARS research station at Canal Point, Florida.
