It was encouraging to hear that the military used 10 million gallons last year, but they seemed to harp on the disadvantages a bit, costs more, more NOx, and some Asian guy simply saying "will it solve our energy crisis? no!" I know there are a lot of guys on here from the farm belt who probably know more about this so I'll direct this question to them. We pay out massive subsidies every year to farmers not to grow certain crops (corn, wheat, soybeans, etc...) so that the prices don't fall through the floor and make it impossible to make a living right? So that means that there must be acres of land out there that is left fallow, or maybe the farmer has 100 acres and farms 50 one year and 50 the next, rotates crops, etc... So if the federal government created an initaitive to produce soybeans for use as fuel only (in other words, these soybeans couldn't be sold for consumption) wouldn't that create a new market with its own sustainable prices? I have to believe that if the U.S. started producing biodiesel full bore that the price would have to drop some. Just a thought.

Badfish, your line of reasoning is somewhat correct.
Another big reason farmers leave land fallow every other year is to replenish water in the soil profile that was depleted by the previous crop.
This is in non-irrigated, which is the majority of US cropland.
