OSU Grain Economist Kim Anderson Pleased With 2011 Wheat Crop Planting Progress
Fri, 24 Sep 2010 6:44:18 CDT
OSU Grain Marketing Economist believes that we will end up with a few more acres of wheat being planted this fall compared to a year ago- with many acres likely to be grazed if weather conditions allow those wheat fields to get up to a stand and have forage available.
He says that one of the positive things he has heard about this year's planting efforts is that producers seem to be putting more nitrogen fertilizer onto their fields- which could support higher yields- but more importantly, a better quality grain at harvest next June. Low protein levels have made it hard to move the Hard Red Winter Wheat Crop output of the last two years into marketing channels- and producers have had their ability to sell their grain impacted.
