Seed treating is in full swing with 3-10 pickups per day. I think there may be a few people trying to seed a few acres this week.
For those wanting to take advantage of the feed barley markets, we have AB Cattlelac 6 Row Barley (top yields for grain & a semi-smooth awn for forage use) or CDC Austenson 2 Row Barley an industry standard. The feed wheat market is high as well and soft wheats are flexible in use. AAC Awesome VB General Purpose soft wheat is a top yielding GP class that can be used for feed, ethanol & forage. If you use AFSC crop insurance don't forget to elect for the class of soft wheat you are growing! AAC Paramount VB soft wheat is a replacement for AAC Sadash VB. AAC Paramount VB SWSW can be used for milling, distilling, feed, forage & ethanol. Did you miss our flax school? The recording is posted here.
