I believe you can, and its nice to harvest that time of year vs corn in rain soaked fields, and or other later season weather problems, happens in summer too around here, you never know what you'll get.
Grain crop we did here, did well, straw especially. Not too many issues, some down crop, had to put those pick up guides on the grain head, too much nitrogen, tall stalks, could lay down, was the only trouble we had, but the longer guides worked very well, not much loss.

I think from what you put in, its ok, a paycheck at best, not sure what the rotation is, how many years consecutively, I had a nice crop in our small field, first season minimal inputs, sprayed for weeds.
