Small grains budgets for 2024 – 2025 are in the associated excel file found here https://sites.udel.edu/weeklycropupdate/files/2024/08/Small-Grains-2024_25.xlsx
Wheat and malting barley budgets are both given. In addition, double crop soybean budgets are also in the file as well. The only major difference between the wheat and malting barley double crop budget is projected soybean bushels are higher in the barley budget due to harvest occurring earlier than wheat, resulting in the double crop soybeans being planted earlier. Each small grain budget has an estimated tab with current expenses and an actual tab that can be altered to enter your farm’s own information.
