Dude, there's a whole book about it.

And, yes, Farmer Dave did it. For all I know he's doing it right now. I haven't talked to him in years.
You can contact him right now and ask him to put you in touch with the people who are already doing this.
Farm equipment is far more expensive than solar panels and batteries, not to mention the amount of man power to deal with the scale needed for fuel production. Plus the extraction equipment.
In option B you end up with a shit ton of fermented waste. The amount you’ll have to grow for fuel will feed 20x more animals than you’d have in a local/small farm.
You’ll need a lot more land than usual to try this. The soil will be depleted in a few years even if you try crop rotation as your options are limited for fuel production.
Unless you show me an example of this system working I’m very skeptic, a lot of wishful thinking.
