X2 I had a field this year that lost about 3/4 bushel a day from silage harvest to combining from deer. Only gets worse the longer it sits out in the field as less corn is in the area. Some people have never seen what 5+ deer an acre every night can do to a crop in a few weeks.
I'm not sure that's "phantom loss" because we know where is going. But I totally agree with you on the destruction deer do. I don't think there's anything else that's cost me more yield loss over the years. There's a lot of smaller fields here that are basically not farmable because the deer don't leave anything come harvest time |
