NH3 is going for around $350 a ton the last time I asked. It was over $400 earlier this year, late fall or early winter I could have pre bought for alittle over $300. So far this week we have missed the rain and the forcast is sounding a little drier. Started in the fields on Monday and they are still pretty wet but if you pick and choose you can get something done. Will probably start planting spring wheat Thursday. Good luck with your harvest.

I'm wondering where you are located. I'm happy for you with that good yield.I am delaying going to just north of Ok. Cityto start harvesting. I'm thinking that thewheat may be delayed a bit because of rain latly and cool temps.too. What can someone tell me about it.We are just now getting back into the fields after a 38 day delay. Farmers are panic stricken.last night at 10:30 PM I met a big 16 row planter on the US highway.

We are on the boarder between Ks and Ok near I35. Very cool and wet lately, so the wheat is somewhat stalled. However, it is starting to look almost as gold as it does green, so it's ripening in spite of the weather. That usually means that as soon as we get some hot days it will be ready all of a sudden. All of the wheat in this area is much thinner than normal, but the excellent filling weather may elp compensate. I'm hoping we can average over 40 bu_ac, which seemed impossible just a month ago due to the severe drought.
