For these reasons (environmental enhancement, sustainability) intensive research and development in renewable fuels (including oilseed oils and alcohols) continues and has lead to a small number of commercial applications in niche markets. The future market for renewable fuel use is difficult to predict but will remain an active issue in the continuing debate on alternative fuels for vehicles including agricultural vehicles. Finally, the use of on-farm generated electricity, as opposed to that purchased from a utility, is discussed below (see also, Agriculture and Autonomous Power Supply).
During the twentieth century and especially since World War II, the speed with which farmers adopt new machines has quickened. In Japan, for example, the number of motors, threshers, and hullers increased fiveto tenfold between 1939 and 1955. Power tillers grew from less than 100,000 to more than 3 million between 1955 and 1975.
