For individual farmers in the developed world, a tractor is likely to be the key item of equipment as it provides power and mobility for a wide range of mechanical farm operations including tillage, spraying, fertilizing, harvesting, milking and feeding.
The dominant energy sources on conventional farms in the developed world are diesel oil (to power tractors and other self-propelled equipment) and electricity (to provide light, heat and refrigeration; and to power electric motors to run milking machines, animal feeding systems, ventilation fans, water supply and irrigation systems).
