Bean Power Visible On Pulling Tracks
Wisconsin Farm Report with Pam Jahnke

Super Farm Tractors that are part of the Wisconsin Tractor Pullers Association are burning biodiesel this season. The biodiesel used to fuel this year’s Super Farm Tractor class at WTPA events is being donated by North Prairie Productions, LLC, Waterloo, Wisconsin. North Prairie Productions also has established a special award purse for WTPA pullers in this Class who fuel their engines with biodiesel throughout the season.

Awards will be presented based on season-long point accumulations. Participating tractors can be identified at pulling events by a special decal indicating that they are “Powered by biodiesel provided by North Prairie Productions.” As a pure fuel, biodiesel contains no petroleum but it is typically blended with petroleum diesel to create biodiesel blends from five percent (B-5) to 20 percent (B-20).

Biodiesel significantly improves the lubricity of petroleum diesel fuel at levels as low as 2 percent (B2) and therefore is a preferred addition to petroleum-based, ultra-low sulfur fuels. North Prairie Productions, LLC, is based in Waterloo, Wisconsin, with intentions of building a large-scale, commercial biodiesel plant in the south-central part of the state.
