Wheat

[malleefarmer]

Reading reports this morning having breakfast.

Despite earlier reports seems Russia Black Sea crop just keeps getting bigger.

And stated russiannwheat at moment most expensive in the world, that would be a first.

Mentioned fair to good crops world wide wide northern and Southern Hemisphere was talking generally.

Some cracking rain forecast in NSW a big producing state here mid to late week. We will get the dregs which will be welcomed.

Think wheat prices are gonna ease down kinda like walking down a stair case rather than a elevator going down just pick spikes perhaps.

As COVID restrictions ease here and meat packing plants get back to full output grain will be needed by feedlot sector milk sector pigs poultry so domestically we may be ok down 20% from drought induced highs of last year

Nothing to report yet this year, but this is from last fall. Yield monitor was not calibrated, but the total bushels was very accurate to hopper fulls, truck fulls and bin capacity.
Disclaimer that this wheat was very wet, as in too tough to even test, so it did shrink down noticeably by the time it was dried. Large areas were averaging in the 170's, but would regularly go above 200 and stay there for long enough that it wasn't just an error:

Acres to the bushel...

60 bushels in stratosphere for me 30 to 40 the norm or sadly less. Shall I call it “south of the ghetto”

In awe of your yields and comments about 80Plus bushels have to get my Head around it.

Tis what it is farm were we farm.

Still above my 30 to 40 does that mean I’m gonna have to sit in naughty boys corner class dunce

Knowing and accepting our land's limitations will go a long way to keeping envy at bay.

All in perspective many places in Europe grow 150 bus wheat .
I have learned to accept what we get .
It can be and is vastly different here as well .
Soil type and rain patterns alone can make yields vary here by double within 10-20 miles on any given year .
