| Im a postage stamp irrigated farmer, but i have a significant (for me) percentage of spring wheat. I say this from " grapevine observation", in that early on, price was dismal, followed by massive urea price increase, wirh horrifically dry spring conditions for a large region. Followed with amazingly large amounts of rain from end-of-may to now. Spring wheat at this latitude is made now, with astounding recovery from dismal spring, wih similar conditions both south (ahead) and north (behind). It seems like an obvious setup for low protein. I have not irrigated any thing (dns, corn, soy) and do not need to irrigate wheat, which is a first everfor me (35 crops) and this farm (3 generations) to my knowledge, and am hoping for a good crop. I top dressed as heavy as i could afford (sop for my irrigated place) and will hope for 13-14 pro and 70-90bu. Im guessing dryland likely to go 40-60+, on significantly less nitrogen. Will likely be many dryland guys beat me. Just a guess on my part, but i feel it is a good guess, and reasonable for a large enough area to be meaningful.
