Leesburg, Ohio | One other consideration (I'll admit here I haven't read the ENTIRE thread of LONG posts, but FWIW)...
One place that produst savings is rather obvious to me, is in the use of some type of auto-shut-off accessory to the GPS system. The overlap of even a 30' planter can get rather expensive on point rows. The overlap of a 60' planter or 120' sprayer gets downright ugly in terms of unnecessary costs. Use the auto-boom or swath-control or whatever your is called, you use less product, don't use it and you use more product on the same field. Seems pretty simple to me.
And if the auto steering causes less overlap, and you can start loading less chem in the sprayer for a given field size because you now are more confident that you won't run out as soon, then you save product there. Otherwise, if you don't take advantage of this accuracy, of course there is no savings in your case. Depends on how accurate you want to be. | |

Product Savings? Please explain.
