ENERGY-RELATED INPUT DEMAND BY CROP PRODUCERS



larger than those with respect to energy price. In-
creases in com and sorghum prices increase energy de-
mand, but increases in soybean and wheat prices
decrease it. As degree of risk aversion decreases, en-
ergy demand increases.

Thus, the model used in this study suggests that less
risk-averse producers produce crops that use more en-
ergy per acre, less energy per dollar of expected net in-
comes, and a slightly greater amount of energy per
dollar of expected gross income.
