Here are your results:

1997 was a mild winter, but a late freeze in April reduced your yields.

Karl was a mistake. The mild winter caused leaf rust to thrive. Because Karl isn't resistant to the disease, your yields were reduced by 15%.

Herbicide also was a poor decision, because weeds weren't a problem after all. It cost you about $10 per acre.

thumbs-down Sorry!
It wasn't a good year for you.

You harvested 36 bushels per acre, but the state's average was 46.
