1. You are using a 32-row, 15-inch planter, operating at 5 mph with an 80% field efficiency. What is your field capacity? Round to the nearest tenth of an acre.
2. You will harvest 400 acres of soybeans using a combine with a 20-foot grain platform, operating at 5 miles per hour, with an expected yield of 54 bu/acre and a field efficiency of 75%.
Calculate your combine harvest capacity to the nearest bushel.
How many hours will it take you to harvest these 400 acres? Round to the nearest hour.
