Agriculture This Week: Biofuel can reduce food poduction acres

When you write about agriculture the growing interest in canola as a biofuels source is a good news story.

Anything which expands a market for a crop is good for the producer of that crop, and on the Canadian Prairies and particularly in Saskatchewan, added demand for canola is going to be generally applauded.

The crop is already the major income generator on most farms, and with huge prices already in 2022 even the hint of adding demand has to have producers near giddy with expectation.

And in a world always hungry to consume energy, the biofuel sector is one that holds the promise of a renewable source of fuel that actually has less atmospheric impact when consumed.
