are you sure about your math?

50M gallons of diesel to farm 109.5M bushels of soybeans?

it takes 4.1 gallons of diesel on average to farm 1 acre of soybeans

http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/CostsAndReturns/Fuelbystate.xls

and 1 acre can produce an average of 40 bushels of soybeans.

So, it would take 109.5M bushels/40 bushels per acre = 2.7M acres of farmland to produce the "extra" soybeans, which would then require 2.7M acres x 4.1 gallons per acre = 11.07M gallons of diesel. (not 50M gallons).

and of course that all assumes that the 109.5M bushels are "extra" crops. Perhaps some soybeans that are exported today could be sold to USSE instead. Or maybe farmers can use USSE biofuel instead of diesel.
