I'll be the guy from NY LOL !!!!! but they do seem to grow well here, but like you said the acreage, certainly is not contiguous, used to be a pain to find someone working in the maze of fields, hedgerows, before cell phones or if you did not have any radio, 2 way or CB or hand held etc. They like nitrogen, spray for weeds and if the weather is good, you can get a nice harvest of grain and straw, but mind you, once the outs stop shading out the weeds, persistent weeds will come back and mess up the straw,sometimes the grain, say with ragweed, we combined a field for another farmer that did not spray, he got decent grain, but no straw and could not sell the grain, because of other things in it.
