When a producer evaluates what is necessary to grow a good crop, there are very few inputs that can be forgone.\u00a0 At that point, our objective is to make sure every necessary input is applied at a proper rate at the proper time.\u00a0 Our focus needs to be on efficiency. A producer\u2019s currency is bushels and pounds.\u00a0 Without enough \u2018currency\u2019, bills cannot be paid.\u00a0 Typically, when someone cuts back inputs, yield suffers more than the cost of the input.\u00a0 That can be a hard concept to accept, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t any opportunities to save money.<\/p>\n

Savings can also be made by going back to the fundamentals. When the prices are higher, it becomes easier to add a little more of something, or try an unproven or marginal product, because our mindset at that time is that \u2018it won\u2019t cost me\u00a0that\u00a0much more\u2019.\u00a0 We can help reinforce when it is proper to play offense or defense when it comes to applying inputs.<\/p>\n

More often than not, delaying decisions lead to both poor performance and loss of yield.\u00a0In these situations, we have lost twice first from wasting the money spent on the input, and second, the loss of production.<\/p>\n
