I'll be the guy from NY LOL !!!!! but they do seem to grow well here, but like you said the acreage, certainly is not contiguous, used to be a pain to find someone working in the maze of fields, hedgerows, before cell phones or if you did not have any radio, 2 way or CB or hand held etc. They like nitrogen, spray for weeds and if the weather is good, you can get a nice harvest of grain and straw, but mind you, once the outs stop shading out the weeds, persistent weeds will come back and mess up the straw,sometimes the grain, say with ragweed, we combined a field for another farmer that did not spray, he got decent grain, but no straw and could not sell the grain, because of other things in it.
Waist high or about, just my place, we had about 70 acres that year, the next was over 100. From what I could see, was on the gravity wagon, and trucked them to the buyer whom sold feed south of us, grain looked nice (not sure of test weight, but size looked good)BPA was good, I believe he filled the hopper 2x off this 7 acre patch, made 15 bales 700 lbs each of clean straw, productive moisture holding field at the bottom of a small valley. It was doing better than corn and the harvest is so much easier, no cold weather, mud, muck and mire. Seems the extra nitrogen paid off one year as the same field had 5 more of those bales.
