Traits are yield protectors not yield makers. For example if you plant a bt corn but don't have corn borers the corn isn't going to do any better than a conventional variety of the same isoline now if corn borers are a problem then the results change. You all assume that bt, double pro, triple, smart stack ect. corn always does better, it doesn't but the seed costs twice as much. Glyphosate is basically only effective as a grass killer anymore due to over use and they tell you need to use pre's. So we are back to using Harness, Surpass, Dual ect. on our corn and pursuit, sencor, ect. on our beans so now we are back to using the same chemicals on our corn and beans as we did before rr corn. The fact is that cattle don't like grazing bt corn stalks and pheasants don't like gmo corn. I fall graze cornstalks so I have to consider this. Your seed guy might try to convince you if you spend $300 on seed corn it will do better than $150 seed but it often is not the case. You have $58.00 more per acre in seed cost so it takes over 17 bushels more corn per acre at $3.30 to come out the same. BTW today I am planting a field to RR corn because of higher grass pressure. I will put down a pre and if it doesn't need to be sprayed with rr it won't be.
