i applaud the effort and realize what a big undertaking it is, as i recently became part of an organic farming family myself. however, i question why they would want to put all the work into retro fitting tractors for biodisel when there are simpler, more ecofriendly options availabe. work horses- they're not just for the Amish anymore! you can use a team of horses to pull any of your tractor-drawn equpiment (although some would require a forecart or a PTO drive, both items are easily available) plus you have the bonus of a friendly, willing equine partner who provides you with a constant source of organic fertilizer!
