| For us a big reason to grow “poverty grass “ is for the stubble cover in which to grow corn. This is dryland. Then we no till wheat after corn harvest. No we don’t get the yield one can with summer fallow wheat but our costs are much lower. It’s not a surprise that wheat acres are in decline the last few decades. Gov subsidies have been based on base acres not planted acres so that’s not incentive to plant more. That could change if payments start to follow the ECAP model. Who knows?
But no 20 bushel wheat does not work. Not even close | |
