need to understand the difference in achieving high yields and optimizing their

Jim Hedges also farms corn and soybeans in Illinois. He
tells Brownfield this shift in focus comes from depressed commodity prices.
“If I go back in time to 2013 or 2014 commodity prices were so much higher so it was all about yield.
