[AT] tractor fuel efficiency

Just courious, how many acres per hour were you planting?  Rough numbers, 6 gal x $2.50 = $15.  That is about what a well skilled tractor operator might earn around here, maybe a little less.  

The gamble always is will my input + overhead costs be enough less than crop value (+ gov. support) to keep the wolf away from the door.
