To Be Honest I'd Try Corn and Suck Up That Xcess Moisture Boys!!!!!!!!


120 plus x $5.50 = Spreads Out Harvest and Thrash When The Ground is Froze


Already Got Dryer, Gas is Cheap, Same Inputs as Wheat, No Grade Discounts, and Way More Potential 4 Profits, That Ground Up There kin easily Run 200 plus Wit all Stars Aligned!!!!!!!!

I agree, it takes about an extra 10 -14 days to mature vs hrs varities. If you have a hard time getting hrs to mature on time, dont grow this variety.

Stands well, better than faller, good disease package, not sure on midge as midge rarely a problem here. I put 130 -140 lbs actual nitrogen down , about 40 lbs actual phos, and have had yields of 110, 95 and 85 for the last three years. But hrs yields have also been big those last few years averaging 65-80 bpa.

Protein is usually 9.5 to 11%. Local feed market best buyers, but the line cos also buy it, likely for feed. Price follows feed wheat, no concerns with the buyers on low protein.

I would say my net return per acre on pastuer can rival grain corn grown on heavier soils, especially when you factor the added costs to handle corn (drying, specilaized equipment, etc).

Faller wheat is almost as profitable as pastuer. Yields usually lower than pastuer, but graincos buy as milling wheat with a slight discount to hrs.
