Subject: RE: How much yeild loss do wheel tracks cause in wheat?


EC MN - Hour North of 'The Cities'		1 acre = 208.71 ft squared

208.71 / 60 = 3.478 passes per acre

208.71 X 3.478 X 2 tire tracks = 1452 sq ft

1452 / 43560 = 0.0333 or a tad over 3%

Once you add in end rows you could be in the 3.5-4% range

85 bu X 3% = 2.975 bu loss

85 bu X 4% = 3.4 bu loss


I hope my math works out!
