Preface
Like agricultural engineering itself, the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering is constantly changing. The importance of individual subject areas shifts over time. We are now taking this into account with a new main chapter in which profound articles illustrate the current developments in energy systems and drive technology - it is well worth a look! Of course, this is not the only area in which there is news from agricultural engineering. I am therefore delighted that we are once again able to pay tribute to the diverse developments in the sector with this year's Yearbook Agricultural Engineering. The authors of the yearbook have once again brought it all together. Without their commitment, often over many years, the yearbook would not be possible in this form and scope - many thanks for that! The same applies to the reviewers, who make an important contribution to maintaining the quality of the articles - thank you very much.
The 35th edition of the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering will now be published as usual on the homepage. We wish all readers a good read with many positive impressions!
Editor in Chief Prof. Dr. Ludger Frerichs
The Agricultural Technology Yearbook offers a wealth of specialised knowledge from experts in agricultural technology (science, associations and industry). The articles are organised according to specialist disciplines and in particular reflect current trends in the sector as well as new developments. The attached bibliographies allow for in-depth reading.
The articles are published regularly in the first quarter of each year, with the publication cycle varying from annually to triennially depending on the specialist area. All articles are published online in German or English; at the request of the authors, the articles can undergo a scientific review process.
The Agricultural Engineering Yearbook is published by Prof. Dr Ludger Frerichs, Head of the Institute for Mobile Machinery and Commercial Vehicles at the Technical University of Braunschweig. The articles are written by experts from science, associations and industry who contribute their knowledge and time free of charge. This also applies to the reviewers in the review process. The publication of the yearbook is supported by the Institute of Mobile Machinery and Commercial Vehicles at the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig and the Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft Agrartechnik (VDI). Further information on the structure can be found in the Editorial Board section.
