The Farmers' Bio-Diesel Cooperative
The Farmers Bio-diesel Cooperative is an agreement between local farmers and restaurants to help one another. Local restaurants contribute used cooking oil, which is re-manufactured as bio-diesel for the farmers and the farmers in-turn sell fresh local produce to the restaurants at a discount.
Q1: What's the question?
Idea Description
Fuel prices are affecting everyone. Farmers have to charge more to cover the cost of bringing fresh produce to market and restaurants are charging more to put food on your table. Imagine if they could work together. Restaurants, which use large amounts of vegetable oil, a prime ingredient in bio-diesel, can donate the used oil to a bio-diesel processing plant which would in-turn sell the bio-diesel to farmers at a discount. The farmers would sell their produce at a discount to contributing restaurants, thus allowing them to lower their costs. Any production of bio-diesel fuel above and beyond the use of the farmers would be sold to the general public to cover the cost of running the plant.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
The $10,000 prize would be used to develop a business plan and refine the bio-diesel manufacturing process.

You could any question you would have about your business. Something as simple as, what do you think, would you ever buy it, how would you do it differently, etc.
