THE TRUE COST OF CANOLA TRACKS AND OPERATING/OWNING A SPRAYER

Tracks consume an average of 2% – 3% of your crop.
Example: 50 bushels / Acres x 3% = 1.5 bushels lost
1.5 Bushels x $8.00/ Bushel=$12.00 acre LOST under the tires just from tracks!

Plus owning / operating costs of $2.50/acre (fuel ,wages, maintenance, compaction, needing to loosen soil in traffic areas in fall, sprayer hours/ trade-in value)

$12.00/acre (from tire tracks) plus operational costs of 2.50/acre =

$14.50 an acre LOST (plus the cost of your Sprayer)
