You're invited to a free webinar on
Getting Started in Farm Scale Biodiesel Production!

If you want to make your agriculture operation more sustainable, you
probably know that biodiesel is a great alternative fuel that is safe,
inexpensive and can be produced right on the farm. But starting biodiesel
production can be intimidating. 

To get FREE, expert information about the basic of biodiesel production and
learn about how to incorporate the fuel on your farm or ranch, register for
Getting Started in Farm-Scale Biodiesel Production, a 60-minute webinar from
ATTRA - National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service. 

This FREE webinar on Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. MST will highlight the basics of
biodiesel production and show home brewers what precautions they can take to
avoid potential problems associated with poor-quality fuel. When properly
made and stored, biodiesel can be substituted for petroleum-based diesel in
virtually any standard, unmodified engine. It is a clean-burning, renewable
and environmentally friendly fuel that emits fewer pollutants than
traditional petrodiesel and is biodegradable and extends engine life. 

This webinar will cover topics including: 

*	The advantages and disadvantages of biodiesel
*	The chemistry of biodiesel and step-by-step instructions to make
your own fuel
*	Types, prices and tradeoffs of biodiesel processors and equipment
*	Oilseed production and processing
*	Examples of farmers and ranchers making their own fuel

There will also be time to ask and get answers to your questions about sheep
and goat production. 

The presenters for this webinar are Al Kurki and Rich Dana, biodiesel
specialists with the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT). 

Kurki is coordinator of the Oilseeds for Fuel, Feed and the Future Project
for NCAT in Montana, where he also works on farm energy efficiency projects.
Kurki is former executive director of the Alternative Energy Resources
Organization (AERO) and has worked on sustainable agriculture issues for
more than 23 years. Since late 1994, he has served as the Western SARE
Professional Development Program's associate coordinator. 

Dana is an energy specialist in NCAT's Midwest office. He is an avid
biodiesel home brewer, producing more than 400 gallons a year for use as a
farm and heating fuel. In the past he has operated a community biodiesel
pilot project in Grinnell, Iowa, and served as president of the Iowa
Renewable Energy Association and legislative liaison for the Iowa Farmers
Union.
