Most yield contest winners have straightforward goals. All you need is a closing wheel for planters to avoid such issues. The good news is that farmers can avoid production problems caused by skips, doubles, and other production blunders with just a few adjustments to their planters. Say that you are in a cornfield and see about 300 plants planted so closely together that you won't get a single stalk from walking through. If you plant one row of corn for each bushel, and you expect 200 bushels per acre, you end up with a total of $.58 per acre of yield. Decorative orch-wire cornstalks set the stage for larger harvests in the fall.
