This research was conducted in Rozen city and in wheat production fields. The area of the studied land was less than 5 hectares and more than 5 hectares. In order to obtain the required information, preliminary ques­ti­o­n­naires were designed, which were evaluated in interviews with a number of farmers in the region for the preliminary pre-test. The results showed that the energy input in wheat production is 47269 megajoules per hectare. The amount of energy efficiency in wheat production was 2.64 and the profit-to-cost index in wheat production was 2.397. Therefore, it can be said that wheat production is acceptable in terms of energy.
