Energy Independence: On Farm Biodiesel Fuel Productionby cookingupastory5,254 views
scythesman, by the same logic, you have to consider the total cost (ecological, monetary, etc.) of the combine against the total costs of alternative methods of harvesting including the cost of feeding feeding all of the people and animals that would be used to harvest and the risks of sullying the harvest in the case that those alternative resources could not be mobilized in time.

Yes, combines save us a lot of work now, but how much do combines cost? How much land/grain do you have to have, just to pay for the combine?... And if it was run on ethanol or bio-diesel, how much land do you need to grow the crops, to make the fuel, to run the plow, the seeder, etc. and the combines in order to make the fuel AND the food?? How is a farmer going to pay for all that and sell affordable food? Combines are great, as long as we have cheap fuel, and lots of soil to waste!
