Dear Tom,

We have a biodiesel plant starting up in Erie, PA. They just buy the oil which 
most of it will come from Ohio (chemical extraction). It was just in the 
paper but I don't recall how many acres of soy it will take, maybe 27000 
acres (don't quote me on that).


I'll keep the list posted.


Jeff
