Is Soft Red Winter Wheat Production Competitive with a Corn-Soybean Rotation?

Soft red winter wheat (SRWW) production in Illinois as well as the U.S. has been on the decline. Trends in wheat yields have not kept up with corn and soybean yield trends. Price and cost of production for SRWW has not improved relative to corn and soybeans. Despite these disadvantages, SRWW alone or double cropped with soybeans is competitive with a corn-soybean rotation under certain conditions.
