I would say we are on the periphery just starting to look in on world of farming activities here on Daily Grains, specifically on small grain farming, so these types of articles help to fill in some of the gaps. The big takeaway in this piece for me focuses on what it will take to help farmers even consider growing grain crops that are new to them since this is the time of year for their planning. 

Between grain growing trials that are necessary to determine what varieties grow well in different regions to matching up the grain and flour needs of food producers, there is a lot of informational infrastructure that is needed to tie the pieces together. Once that information is available, then the farmers need to be able to assess their options and plan for the growing seasons for the next year. No simple task. 

Hopefully we can help as we move forward.
