Planting density is a crucial factor in agriculture that significantly influences crop yield and quality. It refers to the number of plants per unit area of land, typically measured in plants per acre or hectare. This competition can result in reduced growth, lower yields, and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases.

One common way to put a value on soil is to determine how much fertilizer it would take to replace the lost nutrients. I created a spreadsheet to take the numbers directly from this test and calculate a value per ton of soil based on average fertilizer prices over the past several years. How do we put a price on life?
