Growing canola for conversion to biodiesel - how is it done?
On a tract less than 100 acres, people I know want to grow
canola to augment their supply of oil for biodiesel production.
1) what kind of soils and soil conditions and fertility are best
2) is it drought resistant
3) is it grown on flat land, row cropped or can it be grown in wide raised
beds
4) how is is harvested
5) what kinds of harvesters are available
6) is there a small harvester/combine available that could be used with wide
raised beds
or is there another type that could be modified for this purpose
