 The world of wheat in Idaho. I’m DS….

2010 seems to have been an excellent year for wheat with great yields and high prices. I talked to Idaho Wheat Commission spokesperson Thereasa Waterman who says production was up from last year and…”We’ve heard early reports that there are more wheat seed sales going on at the local elevators up about 5-6% from last year so we’re expecting more winter wheat plantings just based on seedsmen that we talked to. When wheat is high priced people plant wheat. It’s looking good for next year. A lot of people in the state had difficulty getting their winter wheat crop in because Eastern and North Idaho experienced dry conditions but a lot of areas have had moisture and there’ve been no complaints.”
