I mistyped. I meant to type "if you can get more than 1 crop per year".

I'm sure some climates can. I don't think North Alabama can get 2 soybean crops per year. I know they can't with cotton.

In tropic soy bean can yield twice per year. However oil palm is the preferred crop because they averagely produce 12,000 kg per year per acre of fruits at an oil extraction rate of 18%. This amount to 2160 kg of palm oil per acre. With conversion rate of 85% to biodiesel, it is 1836kg of biodiesel per acre per year. In S.E. Asia it is a hot investment item this year.
