First Wheat Sample

[FarmerSmuck]

1 CWRS 18.3 Protein. 62 lb/bu a little bit bleached. Running 40 bpa. And by far my worst field.

High pro, huh? So is the yield what you usually get or hope for? Need more context! Surprising for the year? Disappointing?

[FarmerSmuck]

I was surprised by the yield, this field had missed a lot of the rain. My protein will drop once I get into the Wheat fields that had the showers. My local elevator guy told me they are looking for low protein wheat and will pay premiums for 12.5 pro.

[furrowtickler]

Heard from the buyers mouth today - as of 8 am this morning - no premiums over 14.5 pt. I will not say who. But they all will follow before tues - jmo

SURPRISE!!!!!!!

SF3, let me know how your protien is. Unless you REALLY poured the coal to her with all the rain and big bushels you will get, your delivery point might need some of my wheat to blend yours up. I have no fuzz, modestly high px and no bleach. Does bleach matter anymore?

For 200 hundred years (even before greenhouse emissions were born from human activity ), glaciers in Alaska retreated, now they are mysteriously expanding.

Maybe this has something to do with a natural long-term global climate cycle?

I've never heard of anyone with wheat protein over 18%.......wow.

Might be able to use this for blending some of your higher yielding land.

The UN delegation of global warming researchers getting their ship FROZEN in place and became part of an ice berg last year was rather humorous.

The expansion of glaciers is not just an Alaskan freak show. Check out the list of glaciers around the globe that are now expanding.

Was personally at Hubbard glacier on Prince William sound this summer. It is experiencing a monster 7 feet of ice annual growth.
These glaciers are 11 to 14 miles long and continually cave ice into icy water of Prince William.

Those protein levels sound. Like a pulse crop, wow.

I doubt mine will be too high this year. We have split applied for the last ten, but not this year. Liquid is still in the bin.
