Brad, have you heard of a paper called "Acers USA" ? it is a regenative ag paper, not in the line of thought with the like's of gardening magizenes, but with full size family farming. You might find it interesting a least, helpful at best. Woody, did you buy that head from a farmer or through the food chain??Don't recall the #'s for sure but I think a farmer makes less than a dime on a loaf of bread. When I buy corn in Fairbanks to grind into cornflour for my pancakes it costs me 1.06/lb. Take that times 56 lbs/bu and knowing the man who raised it to the condintion I buy it in got 2 bucks for it in high times and the problem is not the lack of skill on our farmers part.

Point no has brought up in this post, why are all the little wells that used to pump for "so to say" mom and pop oil co in the midwest and Wyo no longer in use, to small for Ax-on to mess with? Being an Alaskan, drill ANWR, there is more caribou in Prudro bay now then there was 25 years ago, oil activity basicly stop in the summer when those dear deer show up anyway, been pumping Nat gas back in the ground since oil started being pumped up there. In spite of all that is up there and in other places I totally agree with development of ANY other replaceaable source of energy because of the grip a few people have on us all, and as long as they have it we cannot be free people..MPH

Woody, glad you bought it direct, I use to greenhouse grow tomats, and cuks and peppers plus cool weather stuff in the garden for selling here in Tok. Got so tired of people wanting to buy vine fresh for half of what they were happy to pay in store for tastless shipped in stuff I got away from doing it. Takes a lot work to grow in this north country and my heart just ain't got enough blood left in it to listen to the whinning. Americans have a strange set of values when it comes to food, its been promoted that way since WWII, cheap food for the workin class, so they can have it all, faminly farms like I grew up on being eviro sound and caretakes of the soil paid the price.

MPH, from the farmer. When Thanksgiving comes watch out. I get your meaning and that is what is wrong. The farmer gets squat for the product. Not on Long Island though. Most leave the farm because life may be easier elsewhere or sell out because an acre can be as high $100,000. The farmer will get that because most will create subdivisions and that will keep the price up plus they make money developing the land and homes. They become millionaires overnight, without working themselves to death. Anyway they keep their prices up at the stand as well. Woody

Hello everyone, About a year ago my Father and I started making BioDiesel, It ran absolutely great in my 7790 and our F350, But it's a lot more work than it looks like, 80% of the work is being safe. That sodium methoxide will eat your nerves away permanently anywhere it gets on you. After a while we got discouraged and sold our whole setup. It was just to much work and way too dangerous. Now my 7790 is setup with two fuel tanks, two filters and a fuel selector valve VERY CLOSE TO THE INJECTOR PUMP. That way I stop it on diesel, switch it to oil and then when I start it again it starts on diesel and automatically goes to oil. If the selector is to far away from the pump, it takes a long time to get diesel to the motor to shut it off. Right now I just have the oil line wrapped around the exhaust to warm it but in the future I will have hot water circulating through the fuel tank and around the exhaust pipe in copper tube to warm the whole tank. I don’t really do it to save the world (it might help my own nose a little bit :) but it's just that i'me 18 and its neat to be free from the Arabs, besides, when it ain’t broke I gotta fix it anyway :) Have a BUNCH of fun Lawrence From a little farm in Tennessee
