Don’t forget to also consider the fertilizer and chemical decisions made throughout the year that went into this crop. Make sure the hard work and time that you put into this crop doesn’t get forgotten or lost. Collecting harvest information across your farms is a great way to dissect this year’s decisions while analyzing next year’s to drive future decisions. Reach out if you would like help gathering your harvest information to help break down this year’s yields.
