Extract: This paper evaluates the economic feasibility of selected on-farm energy conservation adjustments in response to the energy price regime under the NEP (National Energy Programs) for prairie grain farms during the 1981-86 planning period. For this purpose, we chose representative farms in Saskatchewan, which has the largest area and number of farms under grain and oilseeds. A study of the 1980 Farm Enumerative Survey shows that the energy component of operating expenses for grain and oilseed farms in Saskatchewan in the form of fuel oil, fertilizer, chemicals, electricity and heating oil, accounts for 39% of the total.
