Cropping Plans

[WiltonRanch]

The barley market is bs. Maltsters make guys jump through hoops for quality yet elevators will give you a premium on your feed barely if it has good germination. Would be bloody laughable if it wasn’t wrong.

A clear indication of gross over supply. And changing demand. It's a new world. Stop growing it or play the game. The last contract I read 4 years ago, made me mad. I've heard they're better now?

PS. Getting $5.50 fd bly off combine bids for next year here if that helps anyone.

$5.50 feed barley is kind of depressing. Hopefully fall prices become much stronger than that.

Better yield 100+

Could be a lot of swing acres come March in some areas .
A lot will depend on crop insurance, fertilizer prices and snow / moisture by then .

Big fan of AAC Wheatland VB, unless you like straw. Its been top yielder dry and wet years. Standability and easy to thresh.
