Good math NJTY... did some research too and you just got it a little way off. Ford was actually using two bushels per car. So with your math, i'd just multiply it to two and voila, youd get the number...
They called the plastic phenolformaldehyde and later found some use for it in making a textile they called azlon. that never made the market though...
I've also seen some news on Ford planting soy on 8000 acres of his land plus some more in Michigan totalling to about 60000 in 1936. Three years after he was harvesting about 100000 bushels.
On how many bushels an acre yields, I got two figures. One says 20 bushels per acre on the average, but a 1994 study showed a whopping 41.4. That pretty much confuses me....
Any of you seen soy jokes.....? saw some....
