Do you also have any information on commercial chestnut production? Potential grants, commercial viability in this part of the world, best practices etc.

The best source for Chestnut production in the Midwest is the Missouri Center for Agroforestry. A new fact sheet on chestnut production can be found at https://centerforagroforestry.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Growing-Chestnuts-in-MO-Update.pdf.

In Illinois, the Savanna Institute is actively promoting agroforestry and working with landowners - https://www.savannainstitute.org/
