hemp and switchgrass for the northern areas

you can only grow sugarcane in the southern and tropic states.

i heard 1500 gallons per acre from switchgrass. i go through about 300-500 gallons a year.

so that one acre could fuel me for three years, minus the tractor and equipment, that one acre is fueling the tractor and the car. and that could be just one harvest. during fall i could plant some alfalfa and graze cows, sheep, goats, chickens on it early summer. then regrow the hemp or switchgrass for the years fuel.
