bit of a strange question: I recently read that one bushel of soybeans produce 1.5 gallons of biodiesel. How much does a bushel of soybeans weigh, and how many bushels would be harvested from the average one acre field?
any ideas?
thanks for any help

The other thing to remember is that AFTER they squeeze the juice out of the bean they can still use the mashings a food/feed.

1 bushel of beans weighs 60lb. yields depend on many variables, weather, soil types and seed hybrids. average yields go anywhere from 30 to 70 bushel per acre. i've ran b-20 biosoy for 2 years with no adverse effect. only drawback is the fuel needs treated with a heavier dose of antigel in cold weather.
