Hi Dale:
This site claims 2641 gallons per hector:

Gallons of Oil per Acre per Year
Corn . . . . . . . 18
Soybeans . . . .48
Safflower. . . . . 83
Sunflower . . . 102
Rapeseed. . . 127
Oil Palm . . . . 635
Micro Algae . .5000-15000:

The highest yield feedstock for biodiesel is hydroponic algae, which can
produce 250 times the amount per acre as soybeans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel
Micro algaes present the best option for producing Bio Fuel such as
biodiesel in quantities sufficient to completely replace petroleum. While
traditional crops have yields of around 50-150 gallons of biodiesel per acre
per year, algaes can yield 5,000-20,000 gallons per acre per year.

a.. Different algae species produce different amounts of oil. Some algae (
diatoms for instance) produce up to 50% oil by weight.
http://www.castoroil.in/reference/pl...sel_algae.html
a.. Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m³/km²)
b.. Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m³/km²)
c.. Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m³/km²)
d.. Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m³/km²)
e.. Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m³/km²) [2]
f.. Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m³/km²)

These are just a few sites, and I'm sure there are some more detailed sites
out there.

Biodiesel is just replacing one type of emission with another - and it
takes a lot of power to harvest/process the stuff.
One square mile is 640 acres.
One square mile is 5280 feet by 5280 feet.
A tractor pulling a 30 foot wide disc plow will requi
5280/30 = 176 passes. That's 176 linear miles to plow the entire 640
acres.
Now the next question is, how much horsepower (fuel consumed) to cover
the 176 miles?
And then there are the herbicide/pesticide/fertilizer/harvest passes
also.
Take it away Nick.
