My home is electric with 2x6 construction and it does get cold here in winter; a real bad winter day will see a high of 50F and mid to high teens at night. Cummins HO is a 2001 that is capable of running on 5% biodiesel; 2002 and later Dodge Cummins pickups can run on 20% bio, I understand that Chevy and Ford diesels don't have that flexibility. My '47 Farmall M is an lpg conversion, probably in the '60s, lpg was $2.52/gal delivered to the property a couple of weeks ago. Diesel by comparison is an outrageous $4.01 gallon, but did see bottom of the tank stuff at $3.86/gal.
There's a lot of research being conducted with algae as bio, greater production output than corn with daily harvest and it only needs 2.5" of precip a year.

I did however heat my 40x50 shop to a balmy 60f all winter on 250 gal of propane, so I cant complain too much. I would like electric heat I think, But I dont have a big enough standby generator to run the place when the power drops for a week.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
