Energy use in agricultural facilities is only one sector of the total energy used in the agriculture industry. The challenge is to correctly determine energy consumption for these facilities. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides many reports of energy used in agriculture, however reporting is always provided in monetary values. Using these values, actual energy use can be approximated for different sectors of agriculture and different energy sources. Overall, fertilizer production and diesel fuel are the dominant energy inputs on farms. Electricity use is a major player as well, and the predominant energy form used in agricultural facilities.
