Jim: Well, sugar works well for ethanol and if the celulosic (?sp)
enzymes are ever developed, the residual pulp would work also. There has
been talk of an ethanol plant in the past but I, however, vote for a
rummery. That way, on a bad day, I could walk across the street and sample
the merchandise.
Methanol is already scarce. A report from the chemical supplier
stated that two major world suppliers had declared Force Majure on their
contracts as of a month or two ago. The price has gone up about
$1.00 USD/gal here.
A question for the JTF group: A farmer friend says that you cannot
use rape as a rotation crop with sugar beets since the rape plant is a host
organism for the Beet Root Nematode. Any thoughts?

would be a good Ethanol crop? nice combo if methanol became scarce.

How about the camolina that is being touted by the governor?
Also, what is a good oil seed rotation crop for sugar beets? I
understand that rape is not.

Can any one tell me what the best oil plants would be for an area
that is home to dry land wheat and winter wheat? I am particularly
interested in a seed type that is not Owned by large corporate agriculture
and can be raised for seed as well as oil.
Thanks
