Central Illinois | Perhaps you could argue that you only have to plant the "average" population that you dropped from the previous 10 planting seasons. After all, you can only guarantee yield based on the "average" of your previous 10 years of production. My personal farm yield history has a 2.0 bu per acre per year linear growth since 1980. I didn't take time to calculate it, but I would guess the growth rates for Illinois and the US are not far behind. If you take into account the traits we are using now compared to 1998, the deck is already partially stacked against you. | |
