Subject: Re: odds of choosing correctly


Bill,

You say you agree, yet in your previous post (on 9/25) you directly compare 10-34-0 on the seed with 6-24-6 to the extent of calculating the $ advantage, yet there were only 7 replications for the seed-furrow 10-34-0 !!

Bill Moyer wrote: "If for instance your 10-34-0 was costing you $7.00/gallon, and you were using 5 gallons of it on the seed, that would cost you $35/acre vs the Major 6-24-6 at possibly $9.00/gallon @ 5 gallons per acre on the seed, that would cost you $45/acre. If you take the Michigan results, the Major 6-24-6 yielded 5.3 BPA more yield than the seed placed 10-34-0 @ 5 gallons. 5.3 BPA x $5/bushel (corn) = $26.50 return prior to deducting the cost differences. So the 6-24-6 is ahead $26.50/a, but cost $10/acre more ($26.50 - $10.00 cost difference) =!6.50/a more money in your pocket than if you had used the 10-34-0 on the seed."

Can you explain?
