Yes, it is again this week too wet to roll. This is the rain we needed in late June through August. Keep planting wheat when it dries up; it’s not too late to plant as the main issues could be enough tillers in January. I am looking at wheat in 2020-2021 and to me it looks like a very good year, price to have some extra money in the summer. The issues are management split applications of fertilizer, weed control, fungicides, and, if all else fails, the wheat can be turned into hay early and plant double-crop soybeans behind. You can also plant double crops behind harvest wheat for grain if there is moisture and the beans get enough height to crate flower and pod development, but you would need an indeterminate variety. Wheat is no different from any other crop – it has to be managed and you can make money. Prices are good and for the spring, futures prices look good. I had a question from a person who was interviewing me about crops and he asked me what will be the best crop – I told him wheat because of the low input cost, can make grain or hay, puts money in the farmer’s pocket in the summer, and can grow a second crop to have more money in the farmer’s pocket. Time to get back to planting – wheat acres have decline time to get the acres back up. Rain is delaying us, but there is still time to plant the wheat crop.
