Very interesting thoughts. .for someone with little exposure to this
issue. Just wanted to throw out this idea: farmers in conservation
reserve programs might grow fuel crops (if not erosion-inducing) in order
to fuel their own tractors. It 's kind of a twisted closed cycle,
although dependent on more energy to convert the plants to fuel. But at
least farmers wouldn't be growing surpluses and they would need less
fossil fuels... Is this worth anything?
