This highly depends on which spreader you use. The difference in spreadrate between a standard Bretal and the WM XL for instance are astronomical.
Yes, and when you borrow equipment, you're usually given the spreader with the widest spread. The smallest fields on Elm Creek can be done in a single pass, but most require at least two passes with a huge overlap. Apparently, you aren't reimbursed for that overlap which is why you lose money on those jobs.

And it seems using Precision Farming helps too. I did 2 or 3 large fields with less than 1000L of fertilizer using the Precision Farming mod. I love the mod. On Elm Creek I planted sorghum on plot 52 with 118 seeds.
