| About 15 minutes ago I asked the students in my Soil and Water Conservation class how much diesel is consumed per acre of production on their farms.
None of the students had any clue and the guys that were willing to guess wildly offered up #s ranging from 20 to 75 gallons per acre.
2 questions for you guys...
1) how much diesel is consumed per acre of production on your farm?
2) When you were 20, did you have any idea how much diesel was required to grow an acre of crops?

BTW Probably 2/3rds of the 52 students in the class are from farms and the total farm acreage is well over 50 thousand acres. | |
