Summary
- Switching from 30 in. to 15 in. row spacing for corn grain can be an advantageous change for no-till, corn soybean farm with about 3,000 acres
- When expected corn price is $5.56 per bushel, expected change in annual profit varies from about $23,000 to about $104,000, for % changes in yield from 0.6 to 7.5 %, respectively
- Sensitivity of results suggests that farm operators should develop analyses specific to conditions on their farms
