Ag Advice
commercial operations around
who help their clients keep partial
records. To be usable, the records
do not have to be very elaborate.
Only keep the records that you will
use. Basic crop records should
probably include an estimate of
yield, such as loads of silage, bales
of hay or loads of grain. They
should include costs for fertilizer,
lime, seed and chemicals. Other
valuable inputs would be the
results of soil tests, type of crop
planted, manure applied, and type
of pesticide applied.
Some farmers feel that they can
not take the time to weigh each
load of a crop to determine the
yield. I would probably agree with
them. Here is what one farmer
does. He records each load as it is
put into storage. Then he measures
the total amount that went into
storage and divides by the number
of loads to get a tons per load
value. Silos that are filled and fed,
then refilled, can be somewhat of a
problem, but the problem can be
surmounted if you really want the
information. The farmer I am
referring to simply puts a mark on
the silo where the loading starts
and stops (waiting 2 weeks after
filling for settling). This is done
each time the silo is filled. The
method is not completely accurate,
but it is workable and gives in
formation that is better than
nothing.
Another fanner has a different
method. He has relatively easy
access to a scale. He weighs
wagons periodically. Again, he
keeps a record of the number of
loads. He does a periodic check on
his figures by also measuring the
filled storage to see how accurate
his wagon load estimates are. You
may have a different way to handle
the problem. The only answer 1 do
not want is that you do nothing.
