There is no cost savings. You spend less dollars in fuel, but more in chemical. Chemical is actually a little more expensive than the fuel...... or it used to be when fuel was as under $1.35.
Just for reference, anyone want to guess how much the average bag of seed corn costs? This is just 1 bag, 50lbs. Farmers, please don't list the answer right off....... you'll take the fun out of it.
