OSTI ID:6808264
The overall objective of this project was to identify and evaluate cropping systems and production methods for major Corn Belt crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa), which will reduce the total energy inputs required relative to production. The research attempts to: (1) analyze the technical feasibility of proposed systems; (2) analyze the economic feasibility of the energy-efficient systems; and (3) identify priority areas for implementation and for future research. Included in this paper are discussions of the crop energy simulator, the linear programming farm management model, and results, implementation, and future research.
