Give or take a bit, 40 acres would produce 25,000 litres of biodiesel, but
would require input of 5000 litres of methanol - probably from petroleum
origin
Best seed is rape - over 40% oil content
Hempseed is about 21%
Excluding exotics, such as coco etc

I've been a lurker for quite some time, and now I have a question:
The old standard for self sufficiency after the US Civil War was 40
acres and a mule for freed slaves. Back to the future: Most farms in
the USA use diesel tractors...the question is, how much bio-diesel can
40 acres produce?

That's a lot. Five Acres and Independence, they say, Three Acres
and Liberty. If it was Chinese, there'd be
-diesel but not a full size.
