Ashburn, GA, (very close to Heaven!) | He found a nine bushel yield difference. 9 time 9 equals 72 minus the $15 or so for the aerial spraying....spraying for aphids made him $66 an acre on that field, this year. Bottom line, if you have aphids at or near threshold, spray. How about 9 times 9 equaling $81? Oh, wait, bottom line is the same, 81 minus the 15 still equals 66..... DON'T FORGET, he had extra freight per acre, hauling that extra nine bushels, always a good expense to have to deal with, but too often an ignored expense when calculating the bottom line of increased yields per acre.
