    It would be nice to hear a response to the thread question from our organic AVers. Does wheat pay for them?

    (no sarcasm allowed hobby)
    I don't honestly know, I have not grown wheat for at least a decade.
    I don't even know about the price of organic wheat.
    I am a bad wheat farmer. About 25 years ago I had wheat in rotation but it was frustrating making a budget on borrowed money with CWB initial prices and future estimates. The whole marketing/elevator agent /coffee visual grading/bullshit poker game with grade and dockage was always weird to me.
    I was realizing better margins with oats and canola. One time at coffee the regular farmers asked me what I planted and I answered canola and oats. The response was "no wheat? You have to grow wheat!" Right about then I stopped frequenting the coffee shop and relied more on independent thinking.
    I made this far, so I am satisfied.

      Best N management is some in the seed row some side banded, and then additional floating before elongation uan is the best

        I feel inferior when I see the n some of you guys apply. 70 - 80 lbs is a big rate here. 20 - 25 lbs p and 10 - 12 lbs s. Out of my ghetto lots of 90 - 100 rates though. Some land responds but some doesn't as well. My om is 5 - 7% so it may help. I worry though about mining the soil if I don't match removal somewhat.
