We are going to do a few acres of soybeans instead this year and the junk left over after extracting the oil can be fed to our goats. Soybeans are cheap too. I'm still researching alfalfa since we already grow several acres of it and it's a permanent crop pretty much.
Noone around here would even consider planting canola due to the toxicity of it to animals. Canola oil isn't the best thing in the world to be using in your kitchen either. Look at all the junk about it on the internet. I find it kinda weird that my own wife ended up paralyzed and diagnosed with MS just a year after that garbage was allowed into this country. MS is one of the big diseases being linked to canola oil.

I know there are a lot of websites claiming that there are false rumors circulating around the internet but look at who owns or is paying for those websites. There are a lot more sites claiming it is bad than good. Plus the US government says it's good for you. That really makes me wonder about it's safety.

Just food for thought.
