Meaning no disrespect to the previous poster, regardiing shifting gears, but it seems to me that people have a tendency to overthink things, or to expect perfection in things that are going to have natural variability.
Reading another chat room, posters had a discussion on plant spacing in corn. Some where saying that if you don't have a perfect same distance between plants, say 6" that you would see a yield reduction. Would spendung an additional 20 - 30 thousand be justified due to increasing yields by 1/10th of a bushel per acre. I understand that over 20 or 30 thousnad acres it would be, but for the average operator with up to a 1,000 or so acres
would it be worth it. We had a neighbor in PA years ago when someone asked him about how his corn did one year, he replied "Got enough to fill silo and the cribs with a bit left over to sell so it did all I needed it to"
Just got wondering on a nasty wet cold New Years Day. Hope everyone has a good year this year.
