Is your glass half empty??

In this edition of Fence Row to Fence Row, CCA Joe Dedman talks about yield potential. Did you know that genetically your corn can generate yields as high as 400 bu p/ac, or soybeans at 200 bu. p/ac.  It is possible, but not if we keep losing our yield potential to outside conditions.  Dedman explains more this week as he discusses best management practices for keeping our glass (our yield potential) full.  By using tools at your disposal may not add yield, but you will keep from losing it and when the grain trucks unload at the elevator, those gains pay the same $$ as any increase that you may have tried for.
