Abstract

This publication was prepared to describe how the feasibility of farm and farm cooperative stills continues to be a subject for speculation, principally because there are a number of unknowns which make it difficult to equate the advantages and disadvantages involved. The farmer has an abundance of renewable products which can be used to decrease the trend toward ever increasing motor fuel costs as well as decrease our dependence on foreign fuel. Both farmers and non-farmers are adversely affected by high energy costs.
