Minnesota | Theres like 20 passes of 120 foot boom per quarter. So if the guy ran over 2 rows for the entire field all 20 passes, the damage is only 40 rows of corn which would be about 5 acres of the total field. Running over that much corn would never happen. As mentioned here, 100 feet of 2 rows is so miniscule that it shouldn't even be discussed, not to mention the fact that the neighboring corn rows compensate for the loss anyway so it's never a full effect loss. But if you want to discuss it, it's 1/100 of an acre...at 240 bu corn that's a 2.75 bushel loss but the neighboring rows probably compensate 1/3 of that so lets say instead of the $8 mentioned, it probably only dinged you by $7. I'd hire a ground rig before any other option every single time if I have the choice. A good ground rig operator will run over virtually no corn....I'll take the 20 gal of water and complete coverage for that risk. | |
