Somethings getting left out of this discussion. As a farmer I'm not very interested in raising thousands of acres of oilseed crops, BUT, I'm extremely interested in supplying my own fuel. Buy supplying my own fuel and fuel for the neighbor I'm DECREASING the need for 30,000 gallons of diesel fuel annually. This fuel will be availible to the general public. If just the farmers in my county all made there own fuel that would free up 800,000 gallons per year.............
Over the last 4 years this is what I've been promoting. DE-CENTRALIZATION of fuel supplies. If all farmers where encouraged nationwide to take out just a small fraction of there base acreage for on-farm biodiesel production, the cost of a small "micro-processor" is almost insignificant, and it would free up BILLONS of gallons per year. Think about it....................

I like that idea boys. I've talked to a couple guys in my area about it. Nobody really seems interested in it. I think the problem is that most new equipment can only run on 5% max bio? (voids warranty) We've always ran B20 since the mid eighties. We've gone through our share of injector pumps. Some warranty work, most not.
I'm decreasing our oil dependence.. about 1800 bushel a day I take to the soy plant. Lol.

Any volunteers to stop breathing?....Bueller?.....Bueller?

Many farmers are doing this. Besides the amazing Farm Show magazine, have you got any links to more info? I'm not a farmer, but very interested in farm tech because farmers build some AMAZING stuff.

I guess all I've got is kudos to everyone for reversing the polarity of this one with reasonable arguments and level headed conversations.
Really encouraging stuff in this one.......

Fabman (Don) has been planting canola as well has his neighbor farmers in areas to decrease the amount of fuel needed by 50 percent. He planted 25 acres and the other 2 planted 20 acres each. Simple math will show 250 gallons per acre yield of usable oil to convert 1 to 1. 16,250 gallons for 3 farms in Oregon with a couple thousand acres per farm. A significant savings. I believe Don either purchased or made a crusher for sqeezing the oil out. Now they have a feed byproduct and a water fertalizer product too. Don has moved to a new farm managing position since I spoke with him last year and is still really busy for an old coot.
