The report is a collection of the papers presented in the seminar "Control of peat production" in Jyväskylä, 16 January 1985.The Domestic Fuel Laboratory of the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) was responsible for staging this event.The seminar formed part of the co-operation carried on by the working group for peat within the committee for scientific and technical co-operation between Finland and the Soviet Union.Development work on a planning and control system for peat production is felt to be important both in Finland and in the Soviet Union.With the help of the system it is possible to adapt peat production to varying weather conditions and by this way to raise production capacity.Regulation of the milling thickness emerged as the principal theme.A proposal was made that co-operation between Finland and the Soviet Union should be carried out in this area.
