Just called around to a few Co-ops and only one had cereal rye. I had her repeat the price of a 50 lb bag because I just couldn't believe it….$52.99 a bag. Heck no!!!! I tried calling a few other Co-ops to verify, but since they didn't have any in stock, they couldn't give me a price. I knew it'd be bad, but not that bad.

Since wheat is about normal at $15.49 a bag, I'll be going with that.

Yep. Curious to see about wheat and oats this year. Hope it isn't crazy

I was hearing Wheat would be in the $30s or more per 50lb. I'm not sure with Ukraine able to ship wheat, it might get a little cheaper. Last fall all the food plot seed companies were saying that it's going to be high and most mixes would be what every they could get.
 
I'm cover cropping my bottom fields this year via aerial application and as of yesterday my price for wheat is $0.15/lb. Obviously I'm doing way more ground than most food plotters so maybe that has something to do with the modest price. Or, maybe it's just lower in ag regions maybe.

You get it basically 1/2 off regular price around here. Not too shabby

Buddy checked the local co-op earlier this week for their normal wildlife food plot blend they have each year....not in stock....they said it should be there in August...no telling what the price will be?....We were able to get a 50lb bag of last year's tillage radish for $42 so we'll mix that into our fall blend....but sounds like wheat will be in the mix as well.... certainly not paying that for cereal rye.
 
Got a quote today, 17.50 a bag for rye. In stock and another shipment arriving next week. Maybe just a regional issue, who knows these days.
 
Paying whatever price is, for what works and draws them in...
Planted Millet 2 weeks ago at Duck lease $50 for 50#. I'll spend $100 for gas every time i go... May cut back on trips and stay overnight at Hotel and spend less than gas back and forth...
 
I kept last years cover crop overage so have about 1400 lb of cereal rye with turnips, radishes and annual clover that is heading into some food plots, had 450 lb of Green covers fall release held over planted that yesterday. Coop tells me uncertified wheat (food plot wheat) is readily available. Also planted 600 lb of millet in duck holes in Stewart county. Got a little rain so Im rolling the dice.
 
Sorry guys - just went by the Co-op that gave me that $52.99 price. Went in there and she told me the same price, but the guy at the counter corrected her and said they didn't have any yet. She was giving me the price of RYE GRASS.

****price is still to be determined****

That's actually good news....thanks for the update.
 
Checked prices at my local coop this week and wheat was $13 and changed. Rye want be in until mid to late August

Will store it in walk-in cooler until I plant.

That's a great idea. How have I never thought of that? It will definitely please the wife. Right now I've got 29 bags of soybeans piled up just inside our basement door. Will probably keep it here at the house till fall, then move everything to the walk in cooler.
 
Talked to my seed guy today who happens to be a pretty big seed blend deal here in the south. They do a lot for Co-op, Biologic & other buck on bag companies.

Talked about availability most & a little on price. They've got rye & use their own wheat as they grow thousands of acres each year. He said buckwheat was scarce and crazy high as most comes from South Dakota that they had terrible drought last year. Also said Landino clovers were through the roof too, other clovers not so bad.

He's doing me a mix of Triticale-Fixation Balansa Clover-Jackpot Forage Turnips- Daikan Radish for my annual plots. Had all the stuff to do it with & told him to figure the percentages and make enough for 20 acres. He did say the Jackpot turnips were actually cheaper that 7 Top right now. Will find out cost when ready.

He did say that he was going to a meeting Thurs & Friday that'll be attended by 30-40 big time seed growers from across country. Main topic is availability, not price. Everyone wanting to know what they can get their hands on & will be priced accordingly.
 
Called Dickson Co-op today and asked about cereal winter rye and there's still none in stock....they even checked neighboring Co-ops and couldn't find any....I asked if it would be in stock in the next two weeks.....they said possibly......was hoping to layer some rye in two of the newer plots where the pH isn't right yet....may have to rethink that plan if it doesn't come in soon.

Thanks for the update. A guy at that same co-op told me it would be early October. I kind wrote that off as he didn't know what he was talking about….but who knows these days?

I was told in Maury/Williamson that it should be this week or so.. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Who knows how true that is.
