Farm Show Magazine - great info on biodiesel

Since I subscribed to this magazine a few months ago, I've been reading at least one or two articles per issue regarding biodiesel. Great stuff.

The latest edition has an article that focuses on an operation where the farmer uses a Chinese-built press he bought to squeeze sunflower seeds to extract oil to run darn near everything on his farm. He powers the press with a small, slow-speed (1950's technology) diesel. In the future hopes to plant enough crop and buy additional presses to be completely self-sufficient in terms of making his own biodiesel. This isn't just a passing trend - you're going to see a lot more farmers doing this in the not too distant future.

I don't have a vested interest in this magazine or the gent who the article is about. I'm just a bigtime fan of this magazine...
