Wonder how this will impact us?

Since this year food crops are doing poorly both here and in the US, there is increased pressure to only farm for food rather than fuel.  Will this just increase the demand for waste oils?  Or will governments act to reduce the use of biofuels completely?

Just read a conflicting article in Bloomsbury stating that soya and rapeseed harvests in the U.S, are up massively on last rear, both commodities trading down on this cycle!

Was in bookers oxford yesturday still £18.95 for ktc soya! Hope it stays that way as uk main crop spuds are still at £11 per 25kg bag.

Always wondered what the top price threshold is for chips but never had the nerve to test it!
