Hi Doug,

Winter wheat may well be a beneficiary of the GSM.

May well hurt pricing.

Of course the fall is usually not as wet as the spring is. Winter wheat grows best and actually requires a snow cover - the snow insulates the wheat sprout during the harsh cold winter.

I have no doubt that more northern climates may not have the best yield.

What works in Canada may well become what works in the Northern border states south of canada.

The biggest crop impact that has cost crop yield losses so far In Wisconsin, is the delayed planting of the seeds.

Especially the corn crop.

When the corn seed is in the ground and water stands over it - it rots the seed vs. germination of the seed.

Almost as bad is when the seeds is in the ground, with too much moisture in the ground (less than standing pools of water), the fertilizer which is buried deeper in the ground than the corn seed leeches out from below the corn seed. When that happens the strong boost of fertilizer that roots should grow into has been dispersed into the entire field.

The result of this is a crop of dark green corn and yellow corn where the fertilizer has leeched out in partial areas.

Time will certainly tell us.

We see.

My neighbor has planted a field of sunflowers as an alternate crop. I always plant some sunflowers in my garden and they seem to do very well in this climate.
