The Ag Budget Operations Table presents a detailed compilation of operations along with their corresponding parameters and material inputs for both conventional and energy crops used in the Billion Ton 2023 study. This dataset encompasses a range of activities, including land preparation, planting, fertilization, pest management, land maintenance, and harvesting.
Key fields within the dataset include equipment data, fertilizer and chemical application details, and seed information. Additionally, the dataset contains cost metrics such as purchase costs and labor costs, enabling users to effectively analyze the financial aspects of crop production.
To enhance understanding of the data, a supplementary spreadsheet is provided, containing field definitions that clarify the terminology and metrics used throughout the dataset.
BT23
Billion Ton 2023
Yield (i.e., tons of biomass per acre per year) is a key driver of production potential for many biomass resources. For agricultural resources, crop- and county-specific yields are an input to the economic modeling used to assess biomass production capacity in the BT23. Yields for agricultural biomass resources were derived from field trials from the Sun Grant Initiative Regional Feedstock Partnership, which served the basis for calibration of county yields (see 2016 Billion-Ton Report section 4.2.4)
For the 2016 and 2023 Billion-Ton reports, a workflow was established to provide a series of yields including biophysical, harvestable potential, future year- and scenario-specific potential, stand-age specific potential, and final solution yields. These datasets are comprised of several yield types including 1) PRISM Yield, 2) Base Harvestable Mean Annual Increment, 3) Mature Harvestable Yield (or MAI) by scenario, 4) Harvestable Yield for the Complete Crop Rotation by Scenario, and 5) Solution Yield by Scenario. Each yield type is defined below in the metadata.
This dataset contains data on agricultural crop and residue production by county from 2022 to 2041. The agricultural crop in this dataset includes barley, biomass sorghum, corn, cotton, energy cane, eucalyptus, grain sorghum, hay, miscanthus, oats, pine, poplar, rice, soybean, switchgrass, wheat, and willow, and the agricultural residue includes barley straw, corn stover, oats straw, sorghum stubble, and wheat straw. The dataset was obtained from the database of the BT23 (Davis et al., 2024) for the mature-market medium scenario with biomass market prices of up to $70 per dry ton.

The agricultural crops in this dataset include barley, corn, cotton, grain sorghum, hay, oats, rice, soybeans, and wheat. The agricultural residues include barley straw, corn stover, oats straw, sorghum stubble, and wheat straw. The dataset was obtained from the database of the BT23 (Davis et al.,2024) for the near-term scenario with biomass market prices of up to $70 per dry ton.

This dataset contains data on forest production. The forestry products in this dataset includes hardwood, softwood, and mixed, and the dataset was obtained from the database of the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (Davis et al., 2024). The intended use is for the Feedstock Production Emissions to Air Model (FPEAM).

This dataset contains harvesting, chipping, and production cost data for forestland production by region and forest harvest system. The dataset supports Biomass from the forested land base analysis in the BT23 (Davis et al., 2024) and subsequent modeling using the Forest Sustainable and Economic Analysis Model (ForSEAM). The cost data was updated by Burton English and is in 2014 dollars and 2021 dollars. Data sources can be found in the accompanying PDF, ‘2021 Biomass Production Costs for the 2024 Billion Ton Analysis’, and the details can be found in the accompanying Microsoft Word file.
This dataset provides additional variables for modelers and other interested stakeholders for yield assumptions for modeled energy crops on agricultural land in the CONUS, as modeled by the POLYSYS model.
The yield unit was changed from lb/ac to dt/ac post-processing.
V0.1 changes include: tillage for subclass like 'energy crop' is now '[null]' and for subclass = 'Intermediate oilseeds' 'till' is now 'CT' (Conventional Tillage), format now uses pipe (|) delimiter.

Stationary sources of CO2 arise from a wide range of industrial and commercial activities, and their characteristics can vary between facilities in terms of CO2 purity, the type and percentage of any trace contaminants, and the temperature and pressure of emissions (EPA 2022a). Based on EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) data, it is estimated that 2,724 million tons of CO2 were emitted by stationary sources in 2022 (EPA 2022b). About 95% (2,584 million tons) comes from non-biogenic sources, and the remaining 5% (141 million tons) is from biogenic sources.
