Market is yelling at you, DON'T PLANT WHEAT !

Simple question, yes getting payed for carbon sequestration sounds great but what happens in the wet years like now when some tillage is required, do you have to pay it back? My experience is when you hop into bed with the government you will eventually get screwed!

Disced nasty ruts but never cultivated yet. I'll take my chances, as that decision is one I can calculate. Sorry, I really hate to break it to you but you are in bed with the government: every government of the world. The issue is to negotiate with the one we have.

I dare someone to be a contrarian and plant wall to wall wheat. Lol.

I have 2 immediate neighbors that planted wall to wall canola last year. It was only 2500 acres in total. They did very well.
They are both near retirement.
I am curious if they will bother to change the settings on the air drill this year.

Sixty bu/ac wht year in year out is a ****ing dream....and by now you all know where I farm.

Happened 3 times in last 45 years, terrible odds, always potential but the RAIN/COLD usually kills it. Only 3 too dry years in same time frame. Farming the sows ear...

Not a fan of wheat either..but not many dollars in bly or oats..
How many yrs in a row for canola?
Trying a 40 acre field for number 3..lots of inputs and the highest rated seed.

Like most everyone else around us, wheat is the cover crop, in the used-to-be breadbasket of the world. 🇨🇦
