[QUOTE="W.B., post: 215094, member: 3518"] Norrriscathy: Reread my earlier posts. I said it takes 2.5 gallons of diesel fuel to produce an acre of corn wtih our average yield of 105 bu/ acre. Get the numbers right and it will improve the validity of your arguement. Here is how it breaks down for those of you who doubt me. Planting---- .5 gal/acre spraying 2 times .25 gal/acre combining 1 gal/acre hauling to bin .5 gal/acre The differences in fuel between N. Central S.D. and other areas of the corn belt will vary quite a bit as our ground has not been tilled in over 6 years and will not need to be tilled in the future. This saves quite a bit of fuel. For those who believe ethanol is not feasible just keep sticking your head in the sand hell who knows maybe you will find oil. [/QUOTE]
