Hint time.
Rather then thinking of corn rows, think of a solid seeded crop that would be picked up by a header of the same effective width as the 8 row corn head is.
How wide would that header be?
No, nothing wrong with your math.
I can't help but chuckle at a guy who says he's pathtic at math with ironseller as a handle. Hey let's go buy something from that guy, he can't figure anything out!
J/K of course.
While you have no math error, you have made an incorrect assumption which would change the area though.
Anyone know what it is?
Actually guys the only person who made the wrong assumption is ME.
I was mixing up the theory of corn row picking widths with solid seeding picking widths for acreage calculations.
I ended up thinking a 9 row head instead of an 8. What an idiot I was!
Sorry guys for sending you on that wild goose chase.
And Ironseller not only is your math fine but your theory was a 100% better than mine too.

I could have went back and just deleted my posts here.
That would have left ironseller, benny and Matt Micklich with posts that made no sense.
That would have been the Bush/Cheney way.
