There are plenty of competitive farmers out there who would put the Virginia farmer's system to work if for no other reason than to have their own claim to fame. So there has to be more to it than the Virginia farmer's diligence. Don't tell me that it is all hidden ability as there are plenty of sleuth type farmers who know how to diagnose or analyze systems. I know of guys getting fantastic yields for no other reason than a piece of land had not been row cropped for decades. Not because the previous owner did not know what to do but made a choice that he wanted to use the land differently than 98 percent of the other landowners/farmers. A fair amount of land here in New York would not produce 616 bushels of corn per acre even if the checkbook was limitless in terms of purchasing inputs. Again, I would point out the example of the farmer here getting near top yields using 1960's planter technology as the other end of the extreme as some things cannot be bought. I would bet the only thing limiting that farmer is top varieties not being graded for seed size assuming this farmer has not gone over to something more modern.
