Roanoke, IN | I fit in that age group and yes I know and have known since I was old enough to watch the meter spin. This is for organic production:
corn: 4.5 gal production, 3.25 marketing
beans: 4 gal production, 1 marketing
wheat: 3.25 production, 1.5 marketing
I'll maybe give them some undeserved credit. I have seen numbers that high or higher for the diesel fuel equivalent use of energy on farms. It is really just a way to express how much energy is used from all sources including fertilizer, equipment, drying, etc.
The funny (sad) thing is I bet these same students can rattle off sports statistics like there's no tomorrow. Good luck you have your work cut out for you! | |

How much diesel do you burn per acre?
