Management and management under stress has a great deal to do with it. There is a luck element in that you might get a weather event that your neighbor might not get such as a hail storm. Yeah, crop insurance at the 75 percent level helps but a lot of farms would really miss that other 25 percent not realized. Is hay production even covered as of today because if you suffer a drought where 20 miles away they have sufficient rain that farm most likely have enough to cover its feed needs where you may have to borrow money to keep the cows fed come winter. Soils can be similar but not the same and soil maps don't always tell the story. Two neighboring farms can show the same soil in a given field based on the map but even if one produces 3-5 tons more corn silage per acre in a given year due to a more favorable B horizon soil (drainage and soil moisture availability) that gives a big advantage. I remember when dairies were small that two or three bull calves from top cows versus heifers would create a multi-year impact in terms of unrealized milk production. Two farms can look the same but have a lot of differences under the surface.
