| I've never been tempted to grow it, seems like everyone who does ends up having to sit on it for a really long time. Once every 7 years or so it is a homerun but a dog every other time. And the wheat trade policy for durum is so messed up Canada floods the US market when prices get good enough to truck it but US durum can't go to canada unless it's labeled feed grade. So the US grower sits on it waiting for the next big event where it gets short.
We like to grow a fair amount of spring wheat 1000-1500 acres to balance labor and rotation but I'm looking at 250 tops this year, just going to grow basically all corn and beans. There's still some meat on the bone with those, unless wheat perks up in price there's little profit opportunity there, and it looks like the KC winter wheat market is going to get a huge crop with the moisture and nice weather they've had down south. | |
