Resumen
Descripción
Winter wheat can be managed to
produce a substantial quantity of
high quality fall-winter forage.
Wheat producers may lease the
grazing rights to livestock
producers. This system generates
income from both forage and
grain, but results in a lower
expected grain yield than wheat
managed to produce only grain.
The rental rate in terms of cents
per pound of livestock weight gain
required to offset the additional
costs and lower grain yield depends
on the market price of wheat. This
study was conducted to determine
the minimum pasture rental rate
necessary for dual-purpose wheat
to breakeven with grain-only
wheat.
