| Here in W. Illinois, my limited experience with wheat is that warm wet springs can be tough as the disease pressure can become a big issue. If you instead get a dry May like this year, if you still have adequate subsoil moisture the wheat can do really good. In 1988, a severe drought year for us, the wheat was close to 90 bu. with good TW, and was our best crop that year. That said, every year is different, and different areas obviously can have different results.
In one of our wet humid springs back in the 1990's, had the wonderful tandem duo of 40 something bushel wheat with correlated 40 something TW, lol.
Don't want to remember the dock on that one, but it was significant as I didn't quite gross $100/acre with that crop, although the DC beans did good that year if I remember right. | |
