Saginaw Bay Area - Michigan | Let's see if I have the takeaways:
Planting earlier is better, period. Looks like April is the target. Interesting was maturity group, where a shorter MG would beat a longer MG if the shorter was planted earlier.
Fert is mostly not helpful. Exceptions apply.
Tillage may or may not be helpful, yields are normally higher but ROI is questionable. They speak to some of the debatable attributes for either practices.
Inoculant almost never pays.
Foliar products are not helpful, at least from ROI perspective, same for "super treatments".
Residual for certain herbicides may pay. I think the data presented was limited (who uses enlist?) and would like to see more trials where GRW and TWH are prevalent and require Liberty to make a difference.
Population is 100K for the best ROI, 130K can pay better sometimes and more than that is probably not going to pay.
Those seem inline with general NAT thoughts. Did I miss anything?
