Subject: RE: disagree on risk and variability


Okay John -- you have a point on that one!

That's what happens when steal someone else's quote without thinking through what I really want to say!! The context of the quote was on relation to this continuous question of "How much profit did I make from all this precision stuff" That is ultimately going to be a very difficult question to answer, but talking about reducing risk and variability in a precision ag context is interesting.

So I thought about the statement a while and wondered if I could defend my position :) Here goes... If we look at a field that has 80 to 180 bu. corn yield potential, by varing my seeding rate I am reducing the risk of financial loss and variability of PROFIT at each point -- not necessarily yield or even costs, and that should be a good thing.

Okay, that may be a little lame but best I could come up with :) -- Good catch on your part...

Merry Christmas
Darin
