Tile drainage would give you higher yields for the future, or making your smaller odd shaped fields into bigger square feilds, is where I would direct some money.

If your in an area where tiling pays, take every $ u were going to spend on the bins/dryer/technology, and burry it in the ground with tile. You will raise your yields, resulting in more $. Then use the extra $ to buy a bin with a stirrator/dryer. Then you can tweak your Planter.
I've never regretted a single $ I've spent on tile.
That being said.
This year I am building my first bins with a dryer. And also pattern tiling a new farm this fall.
I'm planning on getting row clutches as well for my Planter, but I'm more concerned about getting the first 2 done.
Just figure for easy figures you might save 8% on your seed bill with clutches.
8% on 200 acres, averaging $70 an acre ($50 beans/$90 corn seed cost). Is $1100 a year. But also remember that it probably won't add any real value to your Planter when you really get down to it...

What will be the greater return on investment? Dryer or precisionAg
