Good Wheat Yields - High Wheat Prices with Good MRI Soybean Yields and High Soybean Prices = $462 gross dollars per acre in replicated plots in 2003. See below!

Modified Relay Intercrop Soybeans averaged 31 bushels per acre in 2003 in a replicated trial .  Wheat averaged 70bushels per acre. Row spacing for wheat and soybeans was 10 inches with a 20 inch tramline. An economic comparison in terms of gross dollars per acre of MRI (used for 2003)  with conventional 200 bushel corn, 50 bushel soybeans, and 75 bushel wheat follows:

Enterprise Gross dollars/acre
Corn  @ 170 bushels/acre and 2.65/bushel $450.00/acre
Soybeans @ 50 bushels/acre and 7.00/bushel $350.00/acre
wheat @ 75 bushels/acre and 3.50/bushel $262.50/acre
MRI - wheat @ 70 bushels/acre and 3.50/bushel and soybeans at 31 bushels/acre and 7.00/bushel $462.00/acre
