Here in KS the crop insurance deadline is Nov. 15 but they have already started docking a per cent a day but may not hurt most since they just insure at 70+-% anyway.
Still a lot of wheat planting going on around here cause of the wet fall. It's just dry enough to get the milo and other stuff cut.
My advise to all wheat farmers is to not plant any wheat period. Then maybe the price will go up for the rest of us.
Barry, your Rye question: Rye has a small light weight kernel and it spreads like weeds/wildfire in wheat fields. When 1 kernel or more begins showing up in samples of loads taken to the elevator, they begin docking the price of wheat by a few cents a bushel for the whole truck load. The lighter kernels make for a lower test weight and therefore less money. Also affects the moisture and protein levels. Rye does not make a quality bread flour so millers don't want it. We had one field with enough rye and cheat that it is going to milo next year to break the cycle. It also costs a bunch to have it sprayed to control it. That's why.
