Energy usage in agricultural production

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5203107
An overview is presented of the amounts and types of energy inputs into agriculture. The ratio of energy input to output for some crops and livestock is noted. A brief analysis of energy inputs into corn production is made. The evaluation covers fertilization, planting, tillage requirements, harvesting, and drying in addition to the initial energy requirements for seeds. (MCW)
