Energy is the largest input in agricultural production. Therefore energy efficiency is an issue that should be considered in the high degree of importance in agricultural production. The efficient use of energy, which is an important input in production, at a minimum level, provides less input to farmers and increases the profit obtained in production. This study was carried out in 2017-2018 in field conditions in order to investigate the factors that may affect the fuel energy consumed in wheat production in Sivas Region. Land slope, land soil structure and land stony value were taken into consideration as factors affecting fuel energy consumed. The aim of this study is to compare the fuel energy consumption and the factors affecting fuel energy consumption. As a result of the research, it was observed that the factors examined (land slope, soil structure, stonyness) affect the use of fuel energy by 70%. Of these factors, the slope of the land affects the energy consumption variable consumed by 47%. As a result, it is seen that energy efficiency can be increased by reducing land slope, balancing soil structure, reducing stony value and similar arrangements.
