Wheat Game - Karl Without Herbicide, 1997

Wheat

Your results:

  • 1997 was a mild winter, but a late freeze in April reduced your yields.
  • Karl was a big mistake. The mild winter caused leaf rust to thrive. Because Karl isn't resistant to the disease, your yields were reduced by 15%.
  • Not using herbicide was lucky because weeds weren't a problem after all. It saved you about $10 per acre.

Bad yearSorry!
It wasn't a very good year for you.

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