Wheat Harvest Underway as High Yields Hit Markets
Wheat harvest begins across the region with binders in the fields and combines starting Saturday. Art Freeman sells the first load at Derby Grain Co. for 1.03 a bushel after testing 64 pounds. Fred McDowell’s 80 acre field reports 80 to 35 bu per acre, Poage farms predict 25 to 35 bu. Wheat tests run around 63 pounds, quality praised as best in years. Black rust and drought in Canada lift prices to about 1.06 with slight dip after Canadian rains. Farmers consider binning grain ahead of anticipated price rise as oats and rye yield mixed.
