Rathwell, J; Gales, G

This document, a compendium of energy research in the production sector of U.S. agriculture, presents approximately 1,250 entries of ongoing or recently completed research projects and article abstracts related to fuel requirements and energy conservation practices and technologies. The abstracts focus on three general subject areas: crop production, livestock production, and state and National energy demand data. The practices and technologies which have been included within the scope are those which can be effectively implemented in U.S. agricultural production either immediately or within the next 5 years. Such research efforts address specific areas, such as: tillage and land preparation, harvesting, irrigation, fertilizer use, crop drying and storage, frost protection, insect and fungi control, greenhousing, energy-related cost and return studies, animal waste utilization, rangeland management, feed mixes and feeding efficiencies, cultural practices, and energy management of buildings and structures.
