I posted this topic in the biofuel and renewables forum but I wasn't sure how many people actually read that!
Basically, I'm investigating the opinions/concerns of farmers who may have to produce biofuels on a large scale at some point in the (near) future. If you could take a moment to answer afew questions it would be greatly appreciated. If a question isn't relavent to you, skip it and answer the more general questions further down.
