There are simply too many variables to write a formula. All this information is available, however. You need to spec the type of machinery, the type of fuel, the location, and how fuel is to be delivered to the machinery. You might look, as a start, at the USDA.gov site, the USDOE.gov site or the John Deere site.

In the unlikely event you intend to use mules (which is truly how Ceres meant us to farm), they require about 3% of their body weight in feed and hay each day.
