| DobsonAG - 10/3/2023 07:15 Well I love to learn please explain all the processes that have been beaten to make 2.5x the bushels on the same water. We can talk respiration.....transpiration.....stomata regulation......etc......I'm not saying you can't increase efficiency, but if it can be done on a large scale then what a gift to someone in a state that uses a mountain of water to raise a crop each year.
The truth is Randy Dowdy gets a LOT of rain. I don't know how much his soil holds but even if it doesn't hold anything, he still gets a lot of rain during the growing season.
If I had his April-Sept rainfall, we'd raise 300 bu corn consistently without irrigation. Of course we'd have to pattern tile EVERY acre, he gets basically 2x the rain we do.
