Basically think of any high calorie food product that you can grow, and you can use it as biodiesel.
Sugar cane is the easiest to produce biodiesel because sugars have less bonds to break up than starches

Plants do not produce fuel. They produce sugar that can be then converted into, for example, alcohols.

Corn and sugar cane can both be used to create fuels. I am not sure about soy, but it does everything else, so why not?
