jackson county WI | We grow some on small-tough going fields. It speeds up harvest in the fall when you don't have to mess with the small, out of the way fields. Yields here are in 50-75bu range on the sand. Problem with them here is a market for them. The coop pays $1-2 and charge $4-4.5 when they sell them. If you can find some livestock guys who could use them. General Mills had some guys grow them here few years back, and 75% of them went for feed rather than to mills. They didn't pass grade, and you had to follow their regulations which cost a lot. | |
