In Reply to: hard red winter wheat posted by Dave from MN on February 06, 2007 at 12:45:33:
Dave, Where in MN are you from? I am in New Prague, about 45 miles south of minneapolis. I have planted Winter and Spring wheat for a couple of years now and have come out very, very well. When you add in the straw values, either round or small squares, the net profits are equal to or greater than corn. I am actually looking at changing some plans to oats. I have an outlet that I could contract to 2.97 a bushel. With very little inputs and the straw included, the net looks very appealing. It's a lot easier putting $10.00 worth of seed and $10.00 worth of chemical on oats after bean ground and end up with 80-110 bushel yield @ 2.97/bushel plus 80-100 Small square bales @2.50-3.00/bale.... do the math. Last year I had Spring wheat @ 69b/acre@ $4.97/bushel + straw, Winter wheat went 89b/acre @ $5.00/bushel + straw.... I am definetly keeping it in my rotation for this year, I have about 45 acres of winter wheat seeded, it has broken dormancy and looks very good. I will topdress N next week if weather permits. Andy
