Hemp Continued!!!! Hemp is a great multi-use crop. It produces 4x the amount of paper fiber per acre compared to trees. It is great for protein and essential fatty acids, and thousands of industrial, sustainable uses. Kentucky used to have the most roductive hemp strain in the world. It also has a great application for crop rotation, since it does not drain the soil of nutrients and rarely requires fertilizer.
Anyway, it in't great solely for biodiesel use, but is very good for biodiesel when used for multiple reasons. At my university, I actually put together a Powerpoint presentation arguing for the legalization of industrial hemp. It was fun to work on. Let me know if you want it forwarded.
