Yield is a dirty word on this farm, but profit isn't. With today's prices, I'd say that man did really well. I'd love to see how well my 25-40 bushel ancient grain organic varieties do against it over a 5 year period. We usually get a 5 bushel yellow pea crop out of it at the same time, planting after corn, and about 30k lbs in beef gain during the fall.

I grew einkorn in my new to me back yard this year. Half dead, weedy lawn when i bought the place. Yielded 1.25 gallons clean grain from 100 sq feet, or 29.24 bushels an acre. 50 sq feet was planted in 10” wide rows 3 seeds every foot of row. No tillage of lawn. Only remove 16 sq in area of sod to plant seed then cover with manure. Other 50 sq foot was seeded equivalent of 35-40 pounds of seed per acre in 10” rows. Tillage was 4” wide seeding strip of sod removed then pick axed 8” deep. All received early roundup between rows and 2-3 tillage and hand weeding.
