Following up on the biodiesel production from poppies, we had 124 gal/acre of oil.

A July 2007 article in The New Yorker,”The Taliban’s Opium War” states:

Doug Wankel walked up to an angry-looking farmer who was watching his field being destroyed and asked him, through an interpreter named Nazeem, how much he got for his opium. Twenty-one thousand Pakistani rupees for a four-kilo package, the farmer said, and he harvested three to four kilos per jirib (a local land measurement equivalent to about half an acre). He added, “I get only a thousand rupees per jirib of wheat, so I’m obliged to grow poppies.” That comes to about thirty-three dollars from an acre of wheat, and between five hundred and seven hundred dollars from an acre of poppies.

And nobody’s shooting at you.

Will the Army’s equipment run on this stuff?
