The Illinois Farm Sustainability Calculator, an extensive Excel spreadsheet designed to calculate fuel consumption and production, greenhouse gas emissions and sequestration, nitrate runoff and capture associated with any given farm configuration in the state of Illinois.  We designed it to be a user-friendly program in order for it to be useful to farmers.  It is also a completely free and open-source program in order for it to be useful to our fellow researchers.  All of you contributed, in one way or another, to its completion and are thanked on the title page. We are just now releasing the program and are trying to spread awareness of its existence. 

You can download it at the website of our funding institution, the Dudley Smith Initiative.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an email.  Thanks.
