Here are your results:

1998 was a great year for growing wheat. The winter was mild and there was just the right amount of rain.

Karl didn't do as well as the new high-yielding wheat varieties, even with the perfect weather.

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

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

You harvested 39 bushels per acre, but the state average was 49. You also reduced your profits by using herbicide unnecessarily.
