West Kentucky | I agree with that and am happy they can profit while sharing their knowledge. A lot of what they are doing is continuing to learn and educating themselves, much like you, myself, and others try to do on a daily basis. Using the Olympic athlete example, we are blown away by the athletic ability of Olympic athletes until we find out years later that they used PED's to have an unfair advantage. Point being, if we don't know how yields are achieved it is hard to find value in the lessons. Example, if land lays fallow between crops, then a 500 bushel yield is really more comparable to a 250 bushel yield. There are Olympic athletes that we propped up because of a performance that we find out down the road was achieved with an unfair, unknown advantage. The strange thing about growing crops is that the more we learn, it seems like the more questions there are. The one thing that is certain is that none of it is an exact science. One of the big things I like about the YEN program is that it is a group of producers that are working together to help improve each others operations.
