Morris, IL
That is interesting, was this a side by side difference between 58 and 62?

Yesterday took out Soybean tillage plot. Difference between fall disc ripped and fall strip tilled was basically the same, 1 bushel better to full tillage which wouldn't begin to pay even if could even get that to happen again. But the no-till was 3 bushel worse, calibrated monitor. Still probably be better to no-till our beans next year but were going to run the strip tiller anyway if we get to it. Drying out earlier and being warmer being able to plant earlier is hard to measure.

Ran fungicide and insecticide at R3ish on soybeans, 2933 Asgrow. 0 difference in yield and it cost 15$ not including spraying cost. I weighted that with cart scale and quickly found out monitor was only off 10-20 pounds.

Finished our beans, still have 30 acres of custom for my uncle to do should finish tomorrow. Alternator quit on me tonight so had to quit, first breakdown in 400 acres with 31 year old combine.
