Farmers may soon be trading soybeans and canola grown in their fields for biodiesel to be used in their trucks and tractors thanks to EVERPURE Biodiesel Co-op, which is coming to the Caledon area. Biodiesel is an environmentally-friendly renewable fuel made from oilseeds like Ontario soybeans and canola. Biodiesel reduces harmful greenhouse gases and can be used in all diesel engines, from tractors and transport trucks, to buses and diesel-fuelled cars and trucks. This week, these Ontario soybean plants are “emerging” from the soil, and straight rows of small green plants are visible from the roadside. Soybeans are harvested in September for foods like veggie burgers, as well as animal feed and oil that can be processed into biodiesel. Ontario residents are invited to visit www.farmersfeedcities.com to learn how they can win prizes while learning about agriculture this summer.”
