Soils vary, conditions vary, personel vary, and agronomy varies.
Coming from "farm country" (Iowa) farmers may complain about poor crops, but not because one section had too much rain and cloud cover and the adjacent one did not. It usually comes down to planting too early or too late, using the wrong fertilizer or fertilizing too soon or too late or failing to cultivate in a timely manner. In other words, operator error.
