JAnderson - 1/13/2019 10:37 Do you buy a lot of PP stuff and pick up 35bubas well? I take all of those trials with a grain of salt and use them for food for thought. If something interests me I’ll conduct my own on farm trials to see if it works “here”. If you had your own plots where you used both the dextrose and ATS together I would believe you. When you add the 5 and 3 together because it “should” work I call BS, that’s PP math imo.
I agree, I also take Becks and Coups posts with their respective grains of salt. He seems to throw out a lot of numbers that look really nice on paper but has no credible evidence of his own to back them up. He "assumes" that you will get those exact yield bumps each year, every year, and I can tell you that "here" that's a pipe dream, each year is so much different than the last or the next you cant bank on stuff like that, especially for little yield bumps like that, just too many variables to be statistically significant. For example last year XXXX hybrid beat the pants off YYYY, this year YYYY beat XXXX so bad its not even funny, so I never bet on anything, hell in our area one hybrid can be a total flop while 10 miles away its the best corn ever raised in the same year.
