Why would you burn stuff for power on a farm?
Just strap 10 cyclists to the flywheel of your combine and let them "exercise".

Instead of using trucks to carry your produce, use a cyclists' relay, with each cycle fitted with a little container on the back (make sure it's aero though :P).
Of course you would need to clean up the air near the roads though. I am not cycling in smoke filled areas.
