Northeastern Pa | Same as always. 200 rye,150wheat,60 triticale. It's all about the straw for me. I did get lucky and hedge one contract for next year at 6.03 sept add a 50 basis and that's pretty good too. All rye is cut at pollination for straw and planted back to corn. But if it wasn't for the straw would plant 0. A bale of straw is worth basically the same as a bushel of wheat. This years wheat averaged 85/85. 85 bushels x 5.65 (hedged) 480$ 85 bales x53lbs. 2.25 ton x200. 450$. A great crop for us,were usually 65/65. First picture is pre. Cut rye. Second is switchgrass straw
