It is universally agreed that corn and bean yields have over doubled in the past decade or two. Some is from sprays that keep weed competition down. Some are the advancements in hybrid seed. How much of a yield drop do you think would be seen if you still used the newer seed verities and tried to cultivate as we did years ago. Remember, the advancements in tractors and equipment also. You don't necessarily have to use a Farmall H to cultivate with. Something 4WD with cab and GPS. Would the money saved on sprays be eaten up by lower yields? This isn't a organic vers conventional debate. It is a how do you think this would pan out? So If 180-200 bu corn is common, what do you think a guy could do if done with all the same tools in his box, just no roundup? Al
