| Sorry Otis, still shaking my head no. Lets see, going across the field anyway, what's say we do a few extra things right that probably don't cost much more. "Every extra bushel you raise costs money right". Ya that's right, but the point is missed, it's finding the point of diminishing returns and stopping short of it. Maybe my ground is better than yours, but I can about raise 140 with mixed broken bags swept off the floor and 80 pounds of N. Let's see, I'm paying the fertilizer guy to go across the field, lets try the right level to get where we need to be. I have to plant it, lets put good seed in the planter and set the population a little high where needed. In your minimalist mindset, you probably won't do fungicide. At worst here, it is breakeven, at best I almost can't put a number on it, but it's a bunch. I know it shouldn't matter, but at 140 you won't pay many bills or rent much ground. Family time,,,that's my son in the cart running beside me while my grandsons ride along with me, grandma is coming with lunch for the crew and my truck drivers. By the way, entered corn growers several times with good showings. Most of the time it's about having rain when you need it and finding the sweet spot in the field, not spending an over the top number on inputs. Nothing like shelling good corn, and I shelled a bunch of bad corn for a neighbor. His simply ran out of N, a topdress trip would have added many, many bushels
