Canola better be worth something before spring or there will be a lot of 
fuel bills that won't get paid this fall here. Most of the canola is still 
in the field here. Only a few have begun harvest. Mine is all in the swath. 
Lucky that it stands rain well. We just had another two inches yesterday.
Yes, bio diesel is an interesting concept but I wonder just how efficient it 
is. How many gallons of "dino diesel" do we burn to produce that bushel of 
canola?
