A quote from Biodiesel.com
Quote:
Economic Benefits
Increased utilization of renewable biofuels results in significant microeconomic benefits
to both the urban and rural sectors, and the balance of trade. A study completed in
2001 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that an average annual increase of
the equivalent of 200 million gallons of soy-based biodiesel demand would boost total
crop cash receipts by $5.2 billion cumulatively by 2010, resulting in an average net farm
income increase of $300 million per year. The price for a bushel of soybeans would
increase by an average of 17 cents annually during the ten-year period.

It seems that the agricultural world is being given another story. If that's true I'm plowing up the centipede to plant some soybeans.
