Jones, <SNIP> "but with "red diesel" now pushing $2 gallon, and few farmers netting the equivalent of $2,500 per acre (unless the crop is addictive like tobacco) ..." <snip>
Here in Australia Diesel is currently being sold retail at around $1.35 AUD per Litre in the City (well over $1.50 AUD per litre in the country areas and there are a lot of them here :-)), even with the Farmers tax breaks for Diesel use in Farming producing their own Diesel for their own use would dramatically reduce their production overheads. This would be "addictive" to the Farmer! John.
