Sorry: Are you refering to crop yield or oil yield per hectare ??????? 2.9 metric (?) tonns per hectare rape seed (grains!) is pretty poor, looks to me like a try with precision farming techniques combined with reduced or no chemicals use....
We keep hearing here of top yields around 4.0 to 4.3 mt (grains) per hectare of 00 type rape seeds in Europe. 2.9 mt OIL yield per hectare are unheard of, as this would mean something above 7 mt grains per hectare (assuming 40% oil content). So, please clarify! regards, Camillo Holecek -----UrsprŸngliche Nachricht----- Von: Neoteric Biofuels Inc. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 05.

World-wide Trends in Production and Marketing of Biodiesel. http://www.biodiesel.at/courier_on/index.html Last visited January 8, 2001 That is about 3 times the usual reported for Canola or rapeseed...plus nobody has to sign any "agreements" for future use of seed, and there are no concerns about unforeseens.
