Скачать или смотреть Production from Double-Crop Soybean Rotations

For 2023, growing wheat followed by soybeans (wheat-double-crop-soybeans) currently is projected to be more profitable than growing either corn or soybeans, particularly in southern Illinois. Much of the higher projected profitability is due to higher prices caused by the Ukraine-Russia Conflict. However, in the longer run, yield increases in wheat-double-crop-soybeans need to occur before widespread practice adoption is warranted. We reach this conclusion by comparing calories and crude protein production across rotations. Calories and protein production are not that much greater for rotations containing wheat-double-crop-soybeans than for a standard corn-soybeans rotation, particularly on high-productivity farmland in central Illinois.
