Although some farmers claim May was one of the driest months in the last 100 years, estimated yield projections for wheat sampled during the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation’s (VFBF) annual wheat tour last month, are better than previously expected.
Representatives of Ardent Mills in Culpeper and Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) joined VFBF and local farmers for the tour, led by VCE Agent Trent Jones. He used two different techniques to estimate projected yields, based on planting practices among participating farmers.
