Can you pencil a profit on wheat? Locally there’s a lot of guys with no combine that aren’t planting. It would take a record harvest to not loose money.
County yield maybe 11bu
Combine 8bu
Spray weeds yourself 1bu
100# 32 4bu
Crop insurance 3bu
Plow and plant 5bu
Seed 2bu
That’s not a very inclusive budget and no rent in it and it’s already more bu than any of my APH’s but one farm on dryland. The cattle grazing wheats a little better budget, but I’ve still not been able to fertilize as much as I would like to.
What do you mean by "county yield 11bu"? Is that your average yield? |
