okay... let me get this straight... we set aside 250 acres so that a "small farm" can have enough diesel fuel, right?
So, a large modern farm can almost produce enough fuel to provide for its own needs... nothing to sell to the public, just enough to feed its own tractors?
This is almost as bad as the whole "grow grain for ethanol" fiasco.

Remember this is from Australia. They have to import all their oil. So for them it may be economically viable.......

Are you in the "once corn is used for ethanol there's noting left" crowd? If so, you're woefully ignorant.

A hectare is about 2 acres not 250 acres.
