Morris, IL
I am 20 and i could sit here and start telling you what each field uses for fuel and what each individual pass across the field uses, i could name years when fuel use was up or or down. I know the felling Joel, i'm in classes at local community college, knowing my location you could probably guess where. Most guys wouldn't have any idea on fuel use, seed cost, fertilizer, stuff like that i think about daily. I thought if i would have went to bigger school, ISU, WIU, or UofI things would have been different but i guess not.

Last year i even tried figuring what mowing tractor cost per income acre but someone filled a tractor and didn't keep track about half way through and i quit keeping track.

And in response to you question to paul above, everything. Everything my grandfather (farm owner) or dad knows about farm i know and since about 5 years ago grandpa is going backwards, i have to teach him stuff and remind him things.
