Carabaos work fine for tilling and short-range transport of the harvest,
but farm-to-market transportation is by motor truck - there is no
alternative. That is where fuel costs come in for everybody. If you have
your own 1940 Dodge 5/4T and it's running, you buy the fuel; if you hire
it done you pay the trucker to buy the fuel.

of biodiesel 'the morning after the night before' might help straighten

humanity.

Coconut water is not fermented to a beverage as far as I know. You are
probably thinking of tuba or arrak, which is made from the nectar of the
coconut flower.

*folks, i wish we'd get REAL on this.   there's ~ one thousand million
subsistence farming operations going on in this planet, and none of them
has
a tractor, or anything else that runs on biodiesel, cocokero, or
whatever.

See above. Any farmer who wants to market part of his crop ends up using
the roads, directly or indirectly. And that means motor fuel. He might
as well be making it, if he can make it for less than the cash cost of
the fuel he would otherwise have to purchase.
