right...in England about 70% taxes, but transportation companies still havfe to pay the taxes, even if farmers don't. Of course, US citizens pay a lower % of their income on food than any other country in the world, do our food prices going up, might just put us at par with Europe, where it is

I've read some of the comments over time, about biodiesel. Well, I tried out a 2% biodiesel-98% normal #2 at a Shell station on Rte 123 I-75 (one of the Franklin exits, just south of Dayton, Ohio) and it was expensive... $3.20/gal. I filled it up and have been running fine with it since last

You need a conversion kit to run SVO (straight vegetable oil) or WVO (waste vegetable oil) but you do not need to do anything to run BioDiesel. You can dilute SVO or WVO to some in fossil Diesel fuel without any conversion. With the SVO and WVO the devil is in the details - there are many ways to

I won't be doing that, but Rudolf (Diesel) said such a thing - farmers can grow their own fuel. Oil presses are not that expensive. His enitre philosophy for the engine was that by changing the fuel delivery system, it would run on all sorts of locally available fuels. WAY ahead of his time. Read

You have NO idea how serious this is in farm country. Fortunately, about 80% of the crops are already in but they still have to be trucked to the coop. Plus, most of the serious farmers have in-ground tanks at their farms and stockpiled lots of #2 when the price was down for a while. This isn't a
