Over-Production Penalties Put Cheyenne Wheat at Risk
Officials report 72,921 bushels of new wheat in Cheyenne County subject to over-production penalties, with total penalty value at 977,671.16 dollars. The figure reflects bushels flagged for penalty, not actual excess, and storage and postponed penalties shape the overall balance. Last year’s penalty total was 821,798.08 dollars, aided by good weather and wider over-allotment. Farmers view penalty wheat as insurance against future crop failures, to be sold without penalty if next year’s harvest falters.
