Abstract | Within highly mechanised agricultural productions systems such as the Australian cotton industry, operational energy inputs represent a significant cost to growers. Overall, it has been estimated that machinery may contribute 40-50% of the cotton farm input costs. In this project, a framework to assess the operational energy inputs of various production systems and the relative performance of a grower within an adopted system is developed. This framework is later implemented and incorporated into a user-friendly energy assessment tool (a Betta version web-enabled online energy calculator, EnergyCalc). |
