    The raw feed materials put into that refinery are more expensive than the value of the gas output.

    That's why they make balers. :LOL: Then again, the guy in the picture doesn't seem to live in a place where they have balers or winters.

    Yeah, we just bought a side of beef steer direct from a local guy bypassing USDA and all the middlemen. His beef is 100% grass-fed. He is not even a farmer parse. He owns a tree service business, but as a side job, he just buys calves and lets them graze on his cleared land. Not exactly sure what he does during winter though. I am sure he is feeding hay.
