I agree with you Brad "Even for us " ordinary" farmers, yields have certainly jumped over the last 40 years." In the 70's we were happy if we got 110 to 120 across the farm. In the 90's if it is less than 200 it was a bad year. That is certainly a impressive yield though. I made a comment along time ago if the urban sprawl did not stop we would run out of ag commodities due to the land being out of production but with efforts in the farming industry it is not so. I see large tracts of what I would call good farm land taken up for apartment complexes and business now by the twin cities in 50 acre plots. While I could be called a city dweller now I know where the food is grown and "it does not just appear on a shelf somewhere to be bought and used." I talk to a lot of people who say if I could raise _________ and have good food but when quizzed they really have no idea what it takes. I do believe now that yields will continue to increase as time goes on.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
