The table above contains an immense amount of important marketing data. Although this grower has not purchased any additional acres since 2000, he has begun operating more acres in 2 of the last 3 years. He runs a consistent crop rotation between field corn and soybeans, and one of the farms he operates, switched a farm field from legumes to mixed hay all the way back in 2001.

 

What could your marketing department do with that information?
