The article focuses on predictions related to profits of wheat farmers in 2015 based on wheat prices and expected productions in different U.S. states and cites factors related to wheat prices such as foreign wheat production, correlation between production and prices and value of U.S. dollars....
This statistic shows the yield of wheat per harvested acre in the United States from 2001 to 2023.
Taking the average yield per acre and the average price per bushel for the crops of the state, winter wheat has given an average acre return of $16.19, while the next best paying crop, corn, has an average of only $15.46, and the other crops still less.The profit in growing winter ...
noxia can be devastating to wheat and barley yields with reported losses up to 95% if left unchecked, while insecticide spraying adds additional production costs — on average US$12 per hectare — to Southern African wheat farmers that already suffer from low profit margins [1]. This small, ...
Farmers respond to market signals, Patterson said. They plant what they think will make them the most profit. But that doesn’t mean investing in wheat innovation is a waste. Increasing wheat productivity through improved varieties and agronomic practices is what farmers need to make growing the ...
More or less concurrently with this greatly improved methods of milling have come into vogue, and the farmer, perhaps not unnaturally, associates the two facts, and all too frequently blames the miller for his reduced margin of profit. A little closer examination of this complicated problem shows...
Classical game theory is based on Nash equilibrium and assumes that the participating agents can find the optimal solution that maximizes profit under the constraints. This model introduces the interaction between economic agents, thus bringing the theory closer to reality. However, in reality, particip...
Davison River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davison River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wh...
Seed winter wheat to achieve a plant stand of 25 plants per square foot in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones. In the Black soil zone or on irrigated fields, seed to achieve 30 to 35 plants per square foot. Be sure to calculate your seeding rate in pounds per acre (lb/ac). Determ...
(OSU, farmers, and taxpayers) collective investment in variety development. It takes 10 – 15 years to develop a wheat variety and this is not a cheap process. Without PVP protection others could reproduce an OSU wheat variety and profit from its sale without any benefit returned to farmers ...
