And I guess not all of the plant is something that can be burned as fuel so done right it should be a net negative

No, under normal circumstances, the part of the plant that isn't burned eventually also decomposes and the carbon continues in the cycle. You'd have to explicitly do something to prevent it (e.g. sink it in a bog) to make it net negative.
