In 2018 our Angus Scotland farm converted our 35 hectare north field to Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower. The seeds from this crop was successfully processed into over 25,000 liters of biodiesel fuel, and the remaining cake was used for livestock feed for our pigs and sheep. The green matter from the plants, the stocks and leaves, was ensilaged to produce livestock feed as well. For more information about sunflowers, continue reading.

2019 starts off a new era for Solymar Agricultural Group, as our Angus Scotland farm begins it's first year with 100% of our farm equipment run by our on-farm produced biodiesel fuel.

We were able to produce about 750 liters of high grade biodiesel fuel per hectare of sunflowers.

Our 2018 crop of sunflowers has produced over 25,000 liters of fuel to completely power our farm and has produced a surplus that was sold. Biodiesel from sunflowers not only reduces our reliance on fossil fuels, it helps reduce emmisions as well. Biodiesel produces 45-65% lower greenhouse gas emmisions, and reduces particulate matter by 50%.
