Let's head over to the PTx Trimble Precision Planting tent now. Hey, look who it is. PTI Research Farm Manager, Jason Webster, doing his thing on the main stage. So Jason shared a list of the top 10 money losers at the PTI Farm. Number one is corn that's planted too early.

"Yeah, so early planted corn. I know everybody wants to get in, get acres done fast. With soybeans, we can get in and plant early with a very low risk. Corn, however, our data would say over the last seven years, that conditions have to be about perfect for corn on the early side. The risk-reward ratio is a little off on planting corn too early. We've shown that we can plant corn a little bit later without suffering yield loss, but those early planted dates in late March or even in the 1st of April, they've been really suspect and we just haven't been fit. And corn has responded with yield losses."
