Our co-host David Woodruff has Dylan DeBock from DeBock Harvesting. You know, I have never asked anybody about varieties. Do you know what varieties?
"The stuff that we were cutting yesterday was double stop."
Okay, it's new and on me.
"The variety that you can spray, they use this so they can control rye and wild oats and stuff."
She's got a resistance to something. That's nice to be able to take out what you don't want.
"Right, and it's actually been a good yielder. It's always, usually you gain something, you lose something, but the double stop has held its own for the last two years that we've been cutting."
Just really all things for all people type of thing.
"Yep. I mean, obviously it's got a genetic trait, so it's expensive and your typical wheat, but especially in Oklahoma where they do continuous crop wheat on wheat, it's a good option for the farmers to use."
You know, I was just thinking about that. I drive a school bus and as I was doing my round this morning, I was thinking one lady told me, oh, they're raising potatoes and potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, and I'm going, I wonder who she's been talking to because you can't raise potatoes one year after another. I mean, the disease will get you, and I got thinking, it seems to me like all I've heard is corn. You can raise corn on corn on corn, and you put corn and soybeans, you'll get a little better yield, but other than that, you don't get really caught, and this is the first time I've heard that you can have wheat on wheat on wheat on wheat.
"They've been doing it in Oklahoma since the 30s. Most of this ground hasn't seen anything but wheat."
