Hi, Jean, 
Happy New Year, long time no see......

If you have the "right type" of agriwaste you should consider going for pellets to be used in gasifier stoves, which is proven clean burning and efficient. 
Small scale gasifiers can even provide power to any type of pellets maschinary avaliable on the market of to day.
To make pellets out of agriwaste you do not need heavy machinary.
You could also consider planting an energy plantation and go for woodchips, either manualy or by light equipment.
Good luck.
Otto
