I am going to take issue with this statement: "lets say the field averaged 175bpa/7.5tpa= 23.3 tons per acre. The field should have made 151 loads. So we are off 59+- load" I disagree with your conclusion. When I learned math in school, I learned if you divide by a number, that is the same as multiplying by the inverse. So, 175 bu/acre / 7.5 ton/acre is the same as 175 bu/acre x 1 acre/7.5 tons. Cancel the acre units, as they offset each other, and you come up with 175 bu/7.5 tons which = 23.3 bu/ton. Okay, 23.3 bushels x 56 lbs/bushel = 1305 lbs..... which surely does not = 1 ton. ????? |
