CPS red wheat

[wanaka]

I am wondering about the marketability of CPS red, board and non board acceptance and pricing. Also does it realistically put out the bushels to make it a vialble option?

Depends on where you farm. CPS will generaly outyeild HRSW by 15-20%. Dry years about the same yeild, wet years more.The ethenol plant in Lloyd was paying $3.15/bus but is now in the $2.65 range I think. Look at the new PRO's. #2 13.5 HRSWwill be 3.90 or so in our area, and CPSR will be around 2.90. Regardless, still not good if we are to get even average yeilds/grades.
