[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7511367, member: 44728"] Some farmers aren’t interested. But most really ought to and do chat with their agronomist’s and vice versa about the risks and benefits of every input. After all it is the farmer who is taking the most, if not all the risk, is it not? Mine sits down with me before any final decisions are made as to what, when and how much we apply. Neither he nor I would be happy to do it any other way. I also decide what the final fertiliser rates to be used are on a field by field, sometimes part field basis. I find enormous benefit by doing what I see as the most critical jobs of Drilling, Spraying, Fertiliser applications and Combining, which I am certain gives me the best way of seeing exactly what is happening with my crops. It also helps that my agronomist and I are personal friends. We have had a lot of fun jointly entering and winning local competitions. We bounce all sorts of ideas off each other and truly work as a team. However, when the Buck stops with me here, I have to be the ultimate decision maker. The most important day of the year for any field is the day it is harvested. Guess where he mostly is on that day? Yield maps are great. But actually being there on that day gives us both a better chance of seeing why those maps are the colours they show. [/QUOTE]
