Any economic analysis of this?  What is the cost of bio diesel VS fossil
diesel?  13% is really not much given what the commodity markets pay these
days.  Is there any analisys on corn oil?  These figures are very exciting
to me!

i would suggest you contact the author of the article (i
mentioned in my post). i thing the farmers here are mainly using
rapeseed oil, but am not sure on this.

Hemp is the most promising of all available plant options for the production
of biodeisel, I can look it up but I seem to recall that it is the best
plant for that useage.
