Western Canada Yields.

Tom 90% of yield potential is determined by weather conditions and the quality of the land that the crop is grown on. The last 10% by tweaking that the farmer does. The worst problem with those who were lucky and got the big crop the last couple of years is that they think that they themselves are responsible for the good results.

You guys should read what he has written.

He is talking about amount of rain.

Then says "as normal, input creates yield". Input of rainfall. Rainfall is a input and of course the most important one. Gdd or corn heat units probably #2.

I am with SK farmer. Inputs and timing of farmer has allot to do with yields these days. Of coarse mother nature has the last say but the farmer has the first say.Marketing the crop is also a big factor in a successful crop these days too. I may say 40% inputs 40% weather 20% marketing.

Maybe a better way to explain is every farmer sets the height of his bar and mother mature then lowers it differantly each year.
