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.
agricultural production
This dataset contains data on agricultural crop 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. The dataset was obtained from the database of the BT23 (Davis et al., 2024) for the mature-market medium scenario with biomass market prices from $30 to $130 per dry ton.

Description: BT23 update using the 2025 baseline and starting results in 2024 for Med $70 with updated budgets. Cost updates include:
• Increased the nitrogen application for the following crops: willow, camelina, carinata, pennycress, and willow.
• Removed roundup during establishment for the following crops: camelina.
• Harvest costs were updated because the combine width was adjusted. This affected the following crops: barley, camelina, carinata, corn, oat, pennycress, rice, sorghum, soybean, and wheat.
• Harvest cost was updated with biomass sorghum because an additional tractor was added to pull the high dump forage wagon, and the wagon width was adjusted to not constrain the harvest operation with the combine.
• Added poplar in the ag budget database for regions 1 and 13.
Because of the file size limit, the datasets are separated by feedstock type. The corresponding feedstock for each file are listed below.
