Safe Application Practices
Why Safe Application Must Go Hand in Hand with Energy Efficiency
Safe application of agricultural inputs not only protects workers and the environment, but it also reduces unnecessary energy use.
By planning and streamlining field operations, farms can reduce fuel consumption and operational costs while maintaining safety and compliance.

Optimal Field Scheduling to Reduce Energy Waste
By applying treatments when soil conditions are ideal—neither too wet nor too dry—fuel use and wear on machinery are minimized.
Operations such as harvesting in excessively wet fields can significantly increase energy consumption.
Efficient scheduling saves both energy and time.

Precision Machinery Operated Responsibly
Using GPS guidance or auto-steer systems helps machines follow optimal paths to avoid redundant passes, reducing soil compaction and fuel use.
Older tractors can still improve efficiency by using low RPM and high gear settings.

Minimizing Idle and Overlapping Field Work
Reducing unnecessary turns, overlaps, or repeated trips in the field cuts down on engine hours and fuel consumption.
This also improves operator safety by limiting fatigue-related risks.

Energy-Efficient Equipment & Infrastructure Maintenance
Regular maintenance of farm equipment—including pumps, lighting, and refrigeration—ensures peak efficiency.
Upgrading to LED lighting, proper insulation, and energy-efficient pumps can significantly cut energy bills.

Adopting Renewable Energy and Clean Technologies
On farm renewable sources—such as solar panels, wind turbines, and biogas digesters—can power irrigation and equipment, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and utility grids.
In some cases, farms even produce their own biodiesel from crops like canola or sunflowers.
