I got a call from another town nearby. They have another 12 barrels ready to pick up. At the surplus store the barrels are $58 retail. FREE from the town.

Enough for another 3 biodiesel processors. A few pumps, tubing, mixer and fittings and they will be ready. Providing them to friends and neighbors. Here on the ranch I am planting 6 acres of Rapeseed (canola) 6 acres should provide approx. 6 to 8 tons of seed if the rates specified are correct.

That translates into approx. 1000 gallons of biodiesel.

Imagine 1000 acres of rapeseed. That is about 150,000 gallons of diesel. Wheat on 1000 acres sells for about $110k and the finished biofuel sells for $375k plus a $1 per gallon tax break and a $0.50 credit on taxes. Potential earnings on land could be much better on biofuels than food.

Pipe dreams......
