Glad to see the NRCS putting this info out there. I am very fortunate that most of my Ag professors push it heavily and then I just research further from there.

I buy from Clemmons Hammner in greenhill ala. and he always sells me "feed" wheat and we have excellent germination so i would never recommend buying anything else because you arent planting for a harvest..........

The big problem with "feed" wheat is that it is usually loaded with weed seed. Due to using feed wheat a few times, I now have weeds in my plots that are not native to my property, and real nasty ones at that.

Thanks for the advice guys, I avoided the "feed" wheat when I bought the VNS wheat at co-op Saturday. I payed probably $4 per bag more but it is worth it. I need to get a sprayer going and get rid of my annual millet weeds and their big grass leaves.

I was told 15.50 a bag this past weekend at the coop.
I've been quoted $15.99/bag and $12.50/bag over the phone in the last few days.

My brother has a farmer fiend who was harvesting wheat back earlier in the year. We have a buggy and he filled it up with wheat harvested out of the field. I am nervous using it because of the potential weed problems...
$13.00/bag Florence, AL CO-OP.

Excellent post, Steven. You are definitely on the right track. However, for an application of 10-10-10 to contribute 150 lbs of N, you would need 30 bags (50 lbs each) of fertilizer. The value on the bag is based on the contents of 100lbs of fertilizer. To find the number of 50lb bags needed for 150 lbs of N, just divide, then double the answer; 150 divided by 10 = 15. And of course 15 x 2 = 30.
Your methods make a lot of sense and I use them on my garden. 30 vs. 15 bags needed makes it make even more $en$e!

Wayne county cutover is a plethora of various and sundry weeds. Cant tell any issue there because we have every weed known to man allready. Having said that at 9.00 a bag we have been very happy with the results.

Clemons and Hamner here had winter wheat for $14 per 50lb the other day. Forage Oats (not bob oats) and Grain Rye was the same price. These guys harvest and clean the seed and then sell it to seed stores all over the place. Big operation. Owners were in Idaho visiting some big farm while I was there.
I think it was $15 for WW last year so it has went down $1.
I wanted some winter peas but they told me the best germination rate on what they had this year was 61% so they talked me out of it.
