I need to look back at my records but I was thinking $18. This year we are drilling wheat into pastures so Im gonna be forced to get the expensive stuff. I dont even want to know what the price is on that.

I paid $15 per 50 lbs of VNS Wheat seed today. Doesn't that seem a little less than last year?

I think that is actually higher. I just paid $9.00+tax per 50lb bag at my local Co-op two weeks ago. I threw a little more seed down this evening actually hopefully in time for the rain a coming.

BSK, I think that Dickson Co-Op has made a mistake in their wheat pricing. That's too high.

Where are you guys finding VNS Wheat much cheaper than $15 per bushel? Feed wheat is much cheaper or if your a contract grain producer.

Nashville Co-op has the same price.

Are you all talking about feed wheat or VNS seed wheat?

I'm talking about VNS, but haven't purchased any this year.
That's just more than I paid a year ago. Maybe I got a discount for buying so much. I get all my VNS wheat from either the Henry County Co-Op or the Montgomery County Co-Op, usually have to go to both to get everything needed for fall planting. I have run down to the Co-Op in Waverly when the others were out of stock.
 
Someone in our lease who is a member of the NWTF got our wheat last year for 5 bucks for 50#......germination rate not great by % on the bag but worth the 5 bucks!

As stated previously, that sounded higher than what I paid last year.

Today, at the Henry County Farmer's Co-Op on the main drag of Paris . . . . . . . the price per 50 lb bags of VNS Wheat seed was $11.50 per bag.

Your Dickson County Co-Op is charging a 30% higher price than the Co-Op in Paris. Makes no sense to me. If I have to get any later from the Montgomery County Co-Op, I'll bet you it's priced the same as Henry County's. I'm kinda half-way between Clarksville & Paris, so get supplies from both these Co-Ops.

I'd speculate the Humpreys County Co-Op is real close in price to Henry's (as is usually the case). I have to go there sometimes when the others are out of stock.

Not sure who owns which CO-OP but I do know Dickson and Montgomery County are owned differently. We farm in between the two and its night and day on some things.

As far as wheat goes, VNS Red Winter Wheat per bushel, if you can get it much cheaper than $15 per bushel you are doing good (unless you purchase large quantities) and $11 per bushel is a great price. Not sure where your CO-OP gets its supplies from, I would think Lavergne but not sure, but one of us is getting the short end of the stick. Either your "western" TN CO-OPs are either getting a local supply or our "central" region CO-OPs are sticking it to us...either of which are possible. Keep in mind the index price of wheat today was $8.3 per bushel.
