903 Big, three N rates side by side. 67 lb made 144 bu. 96 lb added 12. Doubling to 148 lb added just 1 more. The 96 lb rate returned the most. That is why you measure instead of assume.

Remember when the El Paso airport was suddenly shut down earlier this year for "security reasons?" Well, we finally found out the full story of what happened. And it's incredible.
The U.S. Army had a truck parked along the Rio Grande with a high-energy laser mounted on the roof, and two soldiers were using an Xbox controller to shoot down cartel drones. So to make sure no civilian planes were hit, they shut down the airport.
But that's not even the coolest part.
Right now, it costs our enemies thousands of dollars to make these drones, and our previous response has been to blow them up with $4 MILLION Patriot missiles. That math is NOT in our favor long-term. Those drones will drain our money and empty our weapon shelves before the real fight even starts.
But this is game-changing: A single shot from the laser used in El Paso costs about 3 bucks! We just flipped the script on our enemies using an Xbox controller and a beam of light.
