The Value Of Wheat Straw

[@hezekiaB]

The window between wheat harvest and getting double crop beans planted is the most critical of the year for me. I can’t even imagine sitting around waiting for results on a straw test every year, though it does give you a baseline I suppose for the following year.

This was known in the early 1950s. It's also stupid to burn your grain ground after harvest. The nutrients go up in smoke.

We burn it every year when doing grain on grain. People scoff but our spring malt barley yield this year was 177 bushels per acre delivered. Our winter wheat was 165. Potatoes @650 sacks. Irrigated ground. I don't see any of the neighbors beating our yields. Proof is in the pudding and I just don't buy that it is worth keeping the straw in the ground when we get great yields and can sell the straw laying in the field at $60 per acre. We do fertilize well. If you don't get rid of that straw it will rob your nitrogen from the following crop. I'll start spreading the straw if my neighbors doing it ever start beating our yields.
