Cambridge, southwestern Nebraska | We have had a few rains this month. Had that not happened there would be a lot more acres of “nothing to cut”. As it is this crop is down to 1/3rd to 1/4th of what we normally expect. And I will have areas in fields that I won’t even need to run the combine across.
Unfortunately we have to harvest most of what’s left. We would be better off with a total failure so we would have no harvest expense and receive Chicago Board of Trade price instead of delivering to local elevator with an .80 cent basis. For that reason there won’t be much extra effort to get all of the crop out. We’ll take out what is decent to harvest and leave the sub 5-10 bushel crap in the field. We’re harvesting mainly to reduce volunteer wheat later. |
Has very much wheat been harvested down south?
