I am regularly surprised/concerned by how disconnected most of my production ag students are from basic production info like # of plants per acre, fertilizer and other input rates, input prices... etc for their family operations.
How much did you know about the management of your family's operation when you were 20?

BTW 3-6 gallons of diesel per acre is about the range that I have seen in Ag Mechanics bulletins.
I'm afraid that if they don't know # of plants per acre, or can't even make an educated guess on fuel usage per acre that no amount of college is going to help them. |
How much diesel do you burn per acre?
