Top Dressing of Wheat Moving Forward as Farmers Work Around Wet Fields
Fri, 26 Feb 2010 7:14:51 CST
OSU Grain Marketing Economist Dr. Kim Anderson says that he is pleasantly surprised to see wheat farmers making good progress in getting their wheat topdressed here in the wet winter of 2010. He and others had expressed concern that we would have a hard time in getting Nitrogen onto our wheat fields here in 2010 because of the soft and muddy conditions. Dr. Anderson tells Kathy Shelton of SUNUP what he has heard from farmers in the northcentral part of the state.
He also talks about the need to make marketing decisions now and then execute those plans by selling your wheat later as you have it in hand as it is harvested. Dr. Anderson's comments will be a part of this weekend's SUNUP program- and we have an early preview of what he wll tell the TV audience if you click on the Listen Bar below.
