True, but currently alot of the biodiesel is made from Canola Oil, and I know up here in the Peace reagion, only the best soils are good for growing canola, and a lot of local farmers are jumping on the Canola bandwagon (switching from growning wheat and barley), because fuel production has pushed the price of Canola from $8 a bushell last year to $14 a bushell this year.
