Allendale’s Rich Nelson Sees Minimal Change in Wheat Ending Stocks in WASDE But Worries about Exports
USDA on Wednesday released its February Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports.

Farm Director, KC Sheperd, caught up with Allendale’s Rich Nelson and talked about the numbers in this latest WASDE report.

“For the most part, USDA gave us kind of what that trade was expecting here in today’s discussion,” Nelson said.

Nelson said wheat ending stocks saw a very minimal change from 567 to 568 million bushels. Wheat export sales are an issue right now, Nelson said, and those export numbers should be lowered in the future.

“Focus for us for this report would be on South America numbers and no changes to really get excited about on the Brazil side,” Nelson. “The trade will point out that USDA did drop Argentina corn production 5 million tons on this report, just a little lower than the average trade guess."

Later on this month on March 30, the Perspective Plantings Report will be released and Nelson said his estimates are up 1.4 million acres for corn and up 1.6 million acres for soybeans. Those numbers could drop for cotton, he added.

Oklahoma Farm Report's Ron Hays talks regenerative agriculture and ranching with Jimmy Emmons. Jimmy is a long time resident of Leedey, OK. He is the third generation on the family farm in Dewey County. He and his wife Ginger have been farming and ranching together since 1980. They have a diverse 2000 acre cropping operation growing wheat, soybeans, sesame, sunflowers, irrigated dairy alfalfa hay, canola, grain sorghum and several cover crops for seed.
Jimmy has been monitoring soil health with soil testing since 2011 utilizing cover crops to enhance soil health.

Jimmy and Ginger also have a 250 cow/calf herd and take in yearling cattle for custom grazing on the nearly 6000 acres of native range. Ginger is the primary cattle manager in the operation. The Emmons’ utilize an adaptive multi-paddock grazing system on their range and forages grown on crop ground. They use the system to keep the native grasses and soils healthy, maximize biological diversity and optimize animal health.

As Jimmy Says- Long Live the Soil!
