ecmn | A lot of this stuff is a matter of convenience/ timeliness. it's a whole lot easier and faster to change the setting in the cab for downforce then going out and adjusting springs.
The only time you will get a yield response or potential payback is if you're solving a problem. If you aren't having a downforce control problem, you're not going to get paid back. If you're not having a problem with your current meter, the payback on an upgraded meter is going to be very little.
Something like advanced seed monitoring. That can pay you back very well very quickly versus an old school monitor because you can just simply see things that much better. It was very common to see 3% in seed savings when going to advance seed monitoring and changing. Nothing else just because now you can see how many doubles you're putting down.
Your section control or row unit controls are a direct response.
Upgraded closing systems. Same thing. If your existing closing system is doing a good job, you're not going to get much money back on an upgraded system.
