Irrigated and all averaged around 29. Had 2 circles that averaged 45, 1 that averaged 60, and 2 that averaged around that 75 mark. Dryland was the pits, we kinda just went full boar through it to just clean it off to make the landlords happy. We had a quarter that averaged at 4.

We got lucky and caught a lot of rains and cool weather right when things were about to burn up completely. Our average across the farm was probably in the mid 80 bushel range. One field was in the mid 90s, still have not heard exactly what it made. Lots of farmers reporting 40-50 BPA on continuous crop (just does not work). Neighbor had one field of wheat coming off of chem-fallowed corn stalks that looked to be capable of exceeding 100 BPA, that was probably the single best looking field around.
Test weights were huge, lots of 64 lbs. and even after getting 1/2" of rain the remaining fields still made 61-62 lbs. Not sure on protein as they dont test for that around here.

Averaged 34 across the farm. Not a great year, but considering last fall and this spring I cant complain. Worst field was one back on beans after harvest last fall that went 21 that the adjuster put at 8, best was a field of chem fallow that went 50. Test weights are what shocked everybody. Had one load that went 63.8, Ive never cut 63lb wheat before. Worst load was 62.7. We got lucky and finished the night it started raining around here. There's still probably about 25% or so left to go here, we seem to catch just enough rain to screw things up every couple days.
