Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5399640
The impact of energy on agriculture in general and efficient use of energy in agriculture are discussed. The major inputs in the agricultural production process that reflect energy costs are fuels, fertilizer, chemicals, machinery, and equipment. These items are analyzed specifically for Oregon's farms and ranches. A measure of sales per dollar of energy-related costs was derived for comparisons among types of farms. Data for livestock, grain, field crops, vegetables and melons, fruit and tree nuts, and dairy farms are presented. (MCW)
