Custer County, Nebraska | I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a 191 average for Nebraska. If I hadn't gotten hammered with hail, I think my yields would have been quite good, but my problem is my good yields are at the 210 mark, likewise my good dryland yields are at the 100 bu/acre. Those yields aren't bin busters other areas get, but those are what I'm consistent with. When you average it out, I'm dragging the state average down.
When I used to do custom silage, I know there are a lot of pivots out there that 180 is a good yield.
A lot of Nebraska can't mine their soils for nutrients... you have to fertilize for your yields. Given how chancy dryland can be, who goes full out and drops mega N, and plants irrigated population on those soils? Assume a tremendous year where dryland really hits it out of the ballpark, and I will run far short of the nutrients necessary to hit a 191.
The higher the state average goes, the more acres dragging the average down. | |
