Finished the spring wheat. Only went about 33 bpa. Think this may have been the last year I raise wheat. Always raised about 20 acres. Figured with The gain in next years corn crop and selling the straw I came out about the same as row crops but with such a low yield and corn at $7.00 I can't afford to raise wheat anymore. Spent years building up a market for my straw and hate to loose that but just to much difference. Oh and I got a sour taste in my mouth after marketing last years wheat. It was rejected at the mill for being to good a quality. Sounds strange don't that? But every year it is something else. Protein to low, test weight to low, last year protein to high I tell you, you can't win. And then the local mill won't take it if I haul it in on a 600 bushel gravity wagon. Has to be a semi. Even if you only bring in 50 bushels they will take it if on a semi but not 600 on a wagon. And it is kinda a commotion to take the conditioner off the swather and change the combine over just for 20 acres of wheat. I'm getting to old for all the aggravation and then only make half as much as I would have raising corn.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
