Bioenergy Cropping Systems Study for Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices in Mandan, North Dakota
Rigorous economic analyses are crucial for the successful launch of lignocellulosic bioenergy facilities in 2014 and beyond. Our objectives are to (1) introduce readers to a query tool developed to use data downloaded from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) REAPnet for constructing enterprise budgets and (2) demonstrate the use of the query tool with REAPnet data from two field research sites (Ames, IA, and Mandan, ND) for evaluating short-term economic performance of various biofuel feedstock production strategies. Our results for both sites showed that short-term (

针对曼丹市北达科他州具有韧性的经济农业实践，本研究对生物质能源作物系统进行了深入探讨。严格的经济学分析对于2014年及以后木质纤维素生物能源设施的成功启动至关重要。本研究的目标包括：(1) 向读者介绍一款查询工具，该工具旨在利用从美国农业研究服务局（ARS）REAPnet下载的数据构建企业预算；(2) 通过使用来自两个田间研究地点（爱荷华州的艾姆斯市和北达科他州的曼丹市）的REAPnet数据，展示查询工具的应用，以评估各种生物燃料原料生产策略的短期经济效益。两个地点的研究结果表明，短期内（
