Farm Wheat Crop Storage Can Mean Bigger Profits
Purdue University economist notes storage space on farms may be needed this year for wheat to access government price support loans. Loans cover about 80 percent of cost, issued via County Stabilization and Conservation committees over three to four years at four percent interest. Prefab bins offer a cheaper, quicker option for 1000 to 3000 bushel capacity, while wooden bins require plans and careful sealing to prevent leaks and drafts.

Excess Wheat Silage Feasibility in Indiana Court
Madison County farmers with wheat above allotments may harvest excess wheat for hay or silage under government rules. Purdue agronomists note limited historic use of wheat for silage in Indiana, where grass is typical. Early dough harvest yields silage value similar to timothy hay, while late dough reduces preservation quality due to higher moisture loss.
