| Beans 8.00 and Wheat 6.00
We have an insured rate of 75 bu on wheat and 35 bu on beans. Corn at 145 bu.
Wheat/bean rotation trashes corn here at those numbers. When I add in 150 bucks for the straw it really takes off.
Down side is we are spraying all the time, and have to harvest in 100 degree heat.
I used insurance numbers based on the fact I can't even find rain on TV this Summer. ):
Edit: The problem with wheat around here is that it completes with corn for the best ground. If someone likes to handle large amounts of grain and only work 4 weeks a year, they plant corn. We pick wheat/beans because the cost is not as much and the weather risk is spread across the whole year. For the last 4 years, DC beans have been the best yielder for us. Maybe not this year.
