Time will tell how tough that wheat is ...




It’s early yet for sure but there will be some winter kill in a few spots .

helmsdale thanks for posting those maps, but I think it's at least 4-6 weeks early. Over the last 20 years I've watched closely the spring temp maps and I think there was only 1 year where there was a huge significant market response to spring frost. Just 2 or 3 years ago I stayed up half the night watching live temps drop and drop. The crop had to be a week on either side of flowering, and the next day, nothing more than a yawn from the market. Either these newer varieties tolerate more spring frost, or they are more capable of regrowing from frost damage.

Glad I haven’t cleaned any grain yet, was planning on putting in quite a bit of wheat. How fast the markets can change! They may change back to more positive levels, but seems the world is full of wheat. Looks like I might be putting in a bit more durum than first planned.
I don’t believe nothing the reports you hear on crop ratings. It’s usually a lie to what’s happening. I’ve been around long enough to see ratings drop to lowest ever, then they still pull off a record crop.
