Auburn Hills, Mich., Oct 22, 2007 - Chrysler LLC has taken its promotion of alternative fuels a step further this year by planting soybeans at its Chelsea (Mich.) Proving Grounds.

The company’s 44-acre soybean crop will soon be harvested and sold without profit for use in alternative fuel research. The crop, planted in June, is located in areas on the proving grounds that will not affect vehicle development. Additional acres may be farmed next year, depending on the progression of alternative fuel research.

Huehl Acres, a local company, is responsible for farming of the soybeans. Owners Dennis and Jerry Huehl currently farm approximately 1,000 acres in the Chelsea area.
