Nebraska, The land of corn and cattle

wade garrett - 2/11/2016 09:47 I've spent hours of my life teaching the correlation between yield maps and soil tests. Their beans made 18bu/ the acre the year before I took over, now both years the Lowes was 45, best 60. His corn on good ground made 208 and 212. Pour ground 140-170. I have made him more money in 2 years than he has made in the last 10. I just don't get the mindset. Every neighbor in 20 miles has stopped and commented on how good of job I've done cleaning up the mess and how much better there crops look. The money helps but idk if its worth it.



Weve gotten the same compliments, and it make you feel really good. The other thing to think about is someday theres a good chance that you are the first and maybe the only person in line to rent it, not always the case but you would hope so. Its a large chunk of ground that you have history with and know by heart. Id just keep the mindset that youre working for a paycheck, I know its hard to do, but it could pay off in the long run, I know we thought about giving up several times, but we just kept plugging away.
