Default Pressing and burning vegie oil

I have a small farm, and am tired of breaking even with high fuel prices and low wheat prices. I'm thinkin about using 10 or so acres to plant sunflower seeds for pressing purposes.. Any sugestions on a cheap reliable press? and also can I burn straight vegie oil through my 97 dodge? If not what is an easy to build boidiesel processor? Thanks!

I dunno much on this subject other than the P-7100 pumped trucks (94-98) are the best candidates for alternative fuel, also I think I remember reading that ya can mix veggie oil with diesel but ya can run 100%

someone with more info than I will chime in
