1 All cash grain ratios are calculated from 1992 to 2000 except where otherwise noted. CS4 and CS5 ratios are calculated from 1993-2000 unless otherwise noted.
2 Data from 1996 not included due to wheat seeding failure which was replanted to oats.
3 The direct-seeding phase was not included in field in 1999 due to system changes starting that year.
4 Energy ratios for CS6 are calculated from 1990-2000.
