Local farmers had excellent wheat yields this year and with higher wheat prices, wheat can be a profitable enterprise. The war with Russia and Ukraine continues to keep wheat prices higher than normal. For crop rotation purposes, adding wheat may reduce weed populations and some diseases. If wheat is planted and harvested in a timely manner, it is possible to double crop soybeans or grow a cover crop. Farmers also have the option of baling straw as another enterprise. Wheat and other small grain crops like barley, cereal rye, oats all have some possibilities for expanding the crop rotation and giving an alternative crop to harvest.
This is a past Nature Notes from September 1, 2021. Well, here we are, at the end of summer already, with fall knocking on the door.
Nathaniel May and Michelle Seibert are happy to announce their engagement. Both live in Oakwood.
Solving murder mysteries is a popular game but when it affects your crops, it is serious business! Soybean yields have been stagnating for years. Some farmers get great yields (70-90 bushel/ acre), but many farmers average 50-65 bushel/ acre.
We are having some warm days after a week of cool weather. I am hoping this heat will be gone, so we can have cooler weather for son Joseph’s wedding next week.

Being allergic to honeybee stings has made me very respectful of bees of all kinds, as well as wasps. I do not have the reaction to wasp stings that I do those of honeybees, but one thing is the same of both – they hurt.
New tire technology has the ability to boost crop yields by 7%. Several recent articles in No-till Farmer outlined the benefits and few disadvantages of new tire technology. Most older farm equipment use standard bias tires inflated to 35 pounds per square inch (psi) but now standard radical tires (20 psi), increased flexion tires (16 psi), and very high flexion tires (VF, 12 psi) allow tires to flex which decreases soil compaction and improves yield while saving farmers money on labor and fuel.
My husband and I try to take about a mile-and-a-half walk each night down our road. The road is busier than it was when we moved here, but the entire thing is paved now.
