Leroy you plant and harvest it just like winter wheat. The mature plant is bearded so it looks more like barley than wheat. The yields I get are usually about the same as wheat 70-100 BPA. The determining factor in the yields we get is the weather. We usually are too wet in the spring so the funguses get started that limit your yields. Some of the best wheat and spelt yields I have ever had are in real dry springs, not drought but dry. As for markets there is not any commercial markets any where near me. I feed 100% of what I produce. Well I sell some to other livestock producers but it is not a real cash crop. The straw is worth just about as much as the grain. The straw is usually really bright and clean if you do not get too many rains around harvest time. I have two different dairy guys that will take all I want to sell for $3 a small square bale.
I usually plant around 50-75 acres a year. This year I did not get any planted as we got too much wet weather at seeding time. Also I still have around 2500 bushels left for prior years. I am wanting to clean the small bin completely out as it has not been totally empty in 4-5 years.
