I don't know what's goin gon in Nebraska, but there's nothing new or surprising aobu that. Diesels have ben known to run on some oddities like that for a while. Hmm, could that make all of a city's busses moving adds for Mcdonalds and Burger King?
I read an article in Backwoods Home a year or so ago aobut a fiamily that had pretty well converted to providing their own fuel for the farm vehicles (all diesels, including pick-up trucks driven for family use) by some of the plants they cultivated. I've forgotten the bean they raised, but htey had a pres system set up to squeeze the oil out of it and captured it for use in their vehicles. I think they used the left of pressed cake for an animal feed.
