Subject: RE: How much diesel do you burn per acre?


I didn't know till you posed the question and it looks like around 19 gpa which includes tractors, combine, trucks, and irrigation but not dryer fuel. I use a lot of manure which must be hauled in, spread, and incorporated. Also do all my own spraying. Only thing I hire is aerial application. Operation includes some hay and cattle which add to the fuel use. I've always been one to watch the tank and order more fuel when the tank gets low. Guess I'll have to ask the wife if I can get new equipment since mine seems to be so inefficient. I bet my fertilizer bill is alot lower than most.

As a 20 year old I wouldn't know fuel use and really didn't and don't know with any precision as a 40 + year old. I know I should but don't know where I'd make any major changes.
