Outline of Final Research Achievements

To plan the optimal contracting rules for the ensiling contracts in Konsen area (in the eastern Hokkaido), firstly, I identified the plot level agricultural land use in the area and made the agricultural land use map.
By using this map, I analyzed plot leve operational efficiency of the ensiling process of ensiling contractors in the area. Mainly the operational efficiencies were affected by fragmentation of the plot, natural conditions of the plot, and missalocation of the operating machines.
Then, I analyzed the results of component measurement of the ensiled silage. From these 2 analysis I find what should be changed and how to do it.
