That link confirms the 1500.-/year subscription costs for JD.
Payback for using subscription sat/ground RTK depends upon a farm's size, rainfall, etc., etc. But on a full sized 1/4 section, if 4" of extra spacing exists on pass-to-pass (40' wide implement), about 11 acres have not been sowed. In areas with low to mid rainfall zones, it may be prudent to use RTK.
Needham - "If planting wheat after wheat within the Central Plains, there's data showing 5 to 7 bushel per acre yield responses when planting wheat rows between the previous crop's wheat rows. I think a lot of that is a result of reduction in soil and seed-borne diseases," he says. “Similar benefits can be achieved when planting wheat between corn rows, which helps keep the planter units off the high volumes of residue”

Effective inter-row sowing can boost crop yields through reduced
