Yes it would mean something.if you said What it yielded. I've got a neighbor that does zero input organic corn as well. I'm just trying to get a baseline between what you did and he did. I don't care if you made money or he made money. I'm trying to ascertain what yield levels are possible in this kind of system on a broader scale than one person.
If we want others to try this approach to farming which you say is very fun. Why not explain the very thing that would be the physiological impediment for 99% of farmer a from trying it?
As far as" proving the concept of the system" this isn't anything new. This is literally how we farmed and lived for generations.
I don't care if anyone tries this, I'm not claiming anything, or telling anyone they need to do it. it's better for me if no one does.
im sharing a journey, experience. To me this is bringing joy back to the farm. I don't expect anyone to follow it and a lot don't get the connection with the land. That's ok.
Close to aph tells farmers a lot. On this first year of a completely new system in a severe drought year. Honestly anybody telling me a yield off of that. I would take it with a cup of tea and a grain of salt on the side.
Every body understands % return on investment. If I said under these conditions I still made $300 per profit or $1,000 an acre profit. That's a number that people understand.
What good is a yield number from a farm far away.
If I said 200 with no inputs, a conventional prairie soil guy from gods country would think why bother.
A guy in a different region would think we can't do 200 on our best day.
One Farm in Minnesota and one Farm in Nebraska or where.ever. Don't prove a system works across all regions. It proves that it works for them two guys. And there's a good chance them two guys aren't trying to prove it to anybody. They're just sharing their experience

First time no input organic corn. 1950 style corn!
