Heres the objective of the contest- lowest input cost per bushel, just pure inputs, no land or equipment because that is so variable. Cannot simply cheat though and skip P & K application. Would have to state a predetermined yield goal and fertilize removal rates for that goal, and to make it fair, for guys using manure, a custom application rate would need to be assessed because manure is not free. This contest would really test your skills at being a tough negotiator on input pricing, especially seed corn. Guys planting triple dipple seed would be at serious disadvantage from the get go. The goal would be to hit that maximum sweet spot for economic return per bushel produced. Anybody be up for something like that?
