What a blessing for the wheat tho! What’s the rough average yield of dryland wheat following cotton in your area?

[@wildwestfarmer]

It really depends on the year. The average yield of dryland wheat for county is 17 bushels per acre i believe

Have you guys ever had any oil & gas drilling on your land?

[@wildwestfarmer]

No. There’s never been any drilling on any of our land but always open to suggestions if you have an oil drilling rig - we would love to have oil wells

Do you know a welder by the name of Paul Watkins from Ralls Texas?
