I suspect the comment was slightly 'tongue in cheek' ! Someone else can happily make the biodiesel for the farmer. Graham |

I suggest you watch the episode of dirty jobs making biodiesel. It's easier than a good number of things farmers do. |

Farmer bob could raise crops that are used to make ethanol. Farmer john could raise crops that are used to make bio-diesel. Both can run their tractors on bio-diesel from bubba's bio-diesel who bought crops from farmer john. Of course to all the nay-sayers this too complex, but it's a fraction of the complexity for say gasoline. |

Glycerine is a very harmless by-product.
