NW Iowa | Strip-till corn with Pluribus units, No-till beans, at least 2 sprayer passes, and harvest= 2.75-3.00 gal/acre the last 3 years. My total diesel, gas and oil cost per acre for the last 3 years has been $11.11, $11.31, $8.32. Prior to switching to strip-till, fuel use was over 5 gal/acre.
When I was 20, I had no idea how much fuel Dad was using. I wasn't involved with the farm at that time. I may have been able to come up with how many gallons of beer I was drinking per month. | |

How much diesel do you burn per acre?
