Quote: really careful about rack layouts
If you mean track layouts I can say "Brother you are preaching to the choir!" at the moment I have a load of high speed digital boards to test & debug and the person that did the design & layout was one those "well it worked for me before types" causing some really interesting issues...

And this time, one track is slightly shorter and the signal arrives - and worse disappears - a fraction earlier than the other 7.

I'm sure this is the wrong crowd to ask, but you never know.
Behind the mansion where I rest my being after working hours there are fields. This year there is corn and some sort of wheat I think. It doesn't really matter which type of crop there is grown as long as it has a long stem the same feature arises. The plants in the middle of the field grow larger than those on the side of the field. In fact all stems are large except for those within, let's say, 1 meter of the edges where it gradually grows until a maximum.

So the question is: why?

|
|
|
|
Because, they are 2 different plants planted there. It's either, on the side of the field are corn plants and in the middle are the wheat plants. Or vice versa.

It doesn't seem to affect various "low" crops - potatoes, sugar beets, that sort of thing. At least not as much.
Maybe it's the wind? It hits the edges but not really the middle.
|
|
|
|
|
seeding? the seeds sown on the edges are the single pass whilst those more in the middle get an overlap
also the crop at the edge are less protected from the elements than those further in
my guess anyway

Crops on the edge tend to be better protected as hedges are better wind breaks than the crops themselves, assuming there are hedges, the hedges also provide a habitat for creatures that prey on the main crop pests.

not according to that pic, there is a definite unplanted gap leaving the crop exposed

Good call. Thinking back I've noticed that the smaller the fallow area between the crop and the hedge the lesser the effect so I will give you the point.

Fertiliser is expensive so overspray onto the path is avoided?

Beat me to it! The same of course applies to pesticides.

One of the reasons could be that the edges get less fertiliser as there tends to be some overlap when casting it which does not happen at the edges.

It's like anything in nature, survival of the fittest. The strongest plants and therefore the biggest move into the centre and make the weakest ones move to the edge. I've seen this happen many a time with my 'crops'.

That's how crop circles happen - a stampede...

The crops in the middle of the field feel the love and warmth of the crops around them making them grow better.
The crops on the sides don't get that much love and warmth and it makes them a little sad.
I think I should've become a farmer instead of a programmer. My crop-knowledge is unmatched!

Competition for resources, specifically sunlight.
Around the edge there is less shade so they don't need to grow so much to compete, those further in have to try to get as high as they can to compete with those around them, although there is a natural maximum they all cannot outgrow.
Also those crops around the edge are likely to get less water as it runs off, faces competition from borders (hedges / trees),evaporation, whereas in the middle conditions are uniform.
How all plants grow is defined by their competition for the resources they need.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

As an aside, the crop in the picture looks like wheat, the other one you have is probably barley. Corn is actually a generic term meaning the most commonly grown grain in the area, unless of course you are referring to sweatcorn.

I'm talking about the yellow dot like seeds that are used for pop corn among other things...
