Rappahannock rock

Yankee Point Racing and Cruising Club (YPRCC) recently won the Rappahannock Cup for a second year running.

YPRCC edged out Rappahannock River Yacht Club (RRYC) 69 to 75 during compe-tition October 16 and 18. Fourteen sailboats participated.

Winds built as the three races progressed, reported YPRCC publicist Melise Graham. Boats that did well in the light breeze on Satur-day faced heavier going on Sunday with gusts better than 20 knots. Surprisingly, the smaller boats did well later in the wind and chop.

The RRYC dominated the spinnaker class, with Tom Chapman in Hot Air leading over Arabella Denvir in Rattlesnake and Sam Mar-shall in Play it Again. In the non-spinnaker class, first-place went to Don and Suzanne Scheu in Albino.

Ron Milhills in Anthem placed second and Warren Hottle’s Cygnet took third.

John McConnico and John Henley served as principal race officers.

This Rappahannock Cup Regatta contin-ues a 32-year tradition of competition among yacht clubs on the river.

The Rappahannock River Yacht Club Typhoon Fleet recently ended the 2015 racing season with an awards ceremony.

Fleet commander Tom Wat-kins, with the assistance of Arabella Denvir, made the trophy presentations to the winners, reported Ned Crock-ett. Harry and Jane Wells arranged food and drink for the large group.

Brent and Ron Mihills placed first overall in the Championship Fleet, first in both the spring and fall series and first in the Typhoon Mid-Atlantic Regatta.

Ned and Stan Crockett placed second overall in the Championship Fleet, first in the Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta, third in the Typhoon Mid-Atlantic Regatta and third in the Hos-pice Turkey Shoot Regatta-Typhoon Fleet. The Crockett brothers also received the Participation Award for com-peting successfully in the most racing events.

Mike Kennedy and Tom Watkins placed third overall in the Championship Fleet, fourth in the Typhoon Mid-Atlantic Regatta, and second in the Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta-Typhoon Fleet.

Sissy Crowther and Denvir placed second in the Typhoon Mid-Atlantic Regatta and first in the Hospice Turkey Shoot-Typhoon Fleet.

Additional awards were presented to George Kuper for his service as captain of the race committee boat, Wildfire; to Herb Aman for giving of his time and talent taking on-the-water and on-land photographs of Typhoon racing team activities; to Tom Linville and Tom Chapman for their race committee ser-vice; to Ned Crockett for pub-licity; and to Larry Worthing-ton as “Road Warrior” for traveling from Maryland each week to race in Typhoon events.

“After a very successful racing season, we are elated that Watkins and his team

will continue their leader-ship roles for the 2016 racing season,” said Ned Crockett. “Under his energetic direc-tion we had over 20 racing teams competing in 40 indi-vidual racing starts.”

The season began with a racing seminar conducted by Jerry Latell, Ron Mihills, and John Friday, added Ned Crockett. The focus of the seminar was on boat prepara-tion, sail trim and rig tuning.

On behalf of the Typhoon Fleet, he also thanked Rappa-hannock River Yacht Club for its tremendous support for the Typhoon Fleet. RRYC mem-bers provided boats, course markers, and event facilities without which the Typhoon Fleet would not enjoy such success, said Ned Crockett. He specifically mentioned Tom Blencowe, who stepped up to serve on the race com-mittees; and Bob Mason, editor of the Rappahannock Record, for providing an excellent vehicle for the pro-motion of the Typhoon Fleet.

Golden Eagle Golf Club match play championship win-ners were overall, Jerry Foley; first flight, Cruger Ragland; second flight, Mike Osteen; third flight, Foley; and fourth flight, Herb Hammock.

Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club mixed scramble winners for October 25 were first, Charlie Price, Ed Roc-cella and Lynn Jones; second, Jim Georgiadis, Pete Epps and Sharon Rowe; and third, Gil Zimmerman, Michael Rhodes, Nancy Monroe and Melanie Maguire.

Lancaster is on a three-game losing streak and is now 5-3 with two games remaining in regular season play. The Devils will host Colonial Beach in a homecoming game tomorrow, October 30.

Essex held Lancaster to 89 yards on offense, which included 98 passes and a minus nine-yard effort on the ground.

Henderson’s only of the night, while Calvin Henderson caught two for 15 yards and R. Hen-derson had two catches for nine yards.

The Devils were also flagged six times for 70 yards.

Essex gained 286 yards on the ground and another 236 in the air with Raasuan Monroe rush-ing just four times for 118 yards and scoring on runs of 61 and 36 yards. KJ Dameron also rushed for two scores and carried the ball 12 times for 85 yards.

Nelson completed 11-of-22 passes for three touchdowns. He connected with Cody Jen-kins four times for 99 yards and touchdown tosses of 25 and 14 yards. He also hit Monroe for five completions and 131 yards.

Essex led 28-8 at the half and had a 60-yard scoring pass play from Nelson to Monroe called back on a holding call with just over four minutes remaining. The Devils made a crucial stop and Essex turned the ball over

Lancaster High School cel-ebrated senior night and its only home field hockey game of the season last Wednesday. The Nor-thumberland High Lady Indians shut out the Lady Devils, 3-0, in a junior varsity game.

Lancaster didn’t have enough players to field a varsity team this season and instead combined its junior varsity and varsity teams to play a limited schedule against the NHS JV and Christchurch School.

“We are a very young and developing team,” said coach Becky Webb. “Most of our girls had never played a field hockey game until our first game on October 5.

“But the girls have worked extremely hard learning the sport and the rules of the game. I’ve relied heavily on my returners to help and encourage the beginning players.”

The Lady Indians scored two first-half goals and put another in the net in the second half. Natalie Webb, Hannah Loving and Jean Jett scored a goal each for NHS.

Senior Mikayla Meadows and sophomore Ashleigh Sanford took one shot on goal each to lead Lancaster’s offense.

Eighth-grade goalie Annie Smith had eight saves.

Meadows is one of three seniors on the team. Others include defenders Emma Kane and Emily Haydon. Kane and Haydon, along with Sanford and sophomore forward Leanne Nyugen, are the only returners on the team. However, Nguyen has been injured for much of the season.

Newcomers include Meadows; sophomores, defender Kelsi Ash-burn and forward Emilee Web-ster; freshman forward Breanne Self; and eighth-graders, mid-fielder Hannah Wilmer, defender Shauna Clayton and forward Ellie Bavuso.

Christchurch beat the Lady Devils, 7-0, on October 5 with Meadows taking two shots on goal to lead the LHS offense. In her debut performance in goal, Smith had eight saves in the first half and another 14 in the second for 22 on the night.

Two games against Northum-berland’s JV team were post-poned and make-up dates haven’t been set, said Webb.

Lancaster High School will sponsor an Education Credit Management Corpora-tion (ECMC) College Night for juniors, seniors and their parents/guardians at 6 p.m. November 4, at Lancaster Middle School, 191 School Street, Kilmarnock.

Juniors and seniors from both Lancaster and Nor-thumberland high schools are invited to attend, said college advisor Nia Wilson. Students in attendance will have the opportunity to learn more about the college application process and have a chance to win one of three $500 schol-arships. Winners must be present in order to receive their scholarship.

ECMC College Night will provide participants with information on how going to college can change their lives, how to choose the right col-lege for them, how to navigate the financial aid process, and how to search for scholarships and avoid scams, said Wilson.

There also will be pizza and beverages available to all juniors, seniors and two of their guests, she said.

Three Northern Neck teens are candidates for 2016 Youth of the Year at the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Neck (BGCNN).

They will be introduced to BGCNN supporters and com-munity leaders November 4 at the Steak & Burger Dinner at the BGCNN Recreational Center in Kilmarnock.

The candidates will briefly speak to guests at the dinner about how the BGCNN values have motivated them and what it would mean to each of them personally if they were selected as Youth of the Year.

The candidates are Elijah Morris, 16; Shyniece Sutton, 13; and Deshay Smith, 16. All are members of the Key-stone Club, a nationally rec-ognized character and lead-ership development program designed to develop the skills teens need to achieve their goals in life, while helping to support their local clubs and other young members.

They have advanced through the selection process based upon their maturity, leadership, interest in the community and relationship with the staff, volunteers and other members, according to executive director Philip Mumford. All three scored highly in leadership, aca-demic excellence and poten-tial, character and service, and healthy lifestyles.

“We are extremely proud of all three candidates and what they’ve achieved both here at the Club and in their private lives,” said Mumford. “Any of the three will reflect well on the Club, their families and the Northern Neck.”

Morris is a high school junior and a defensive end/linebacker on the Lancaster High School varsity football team. During the ‘off season,’ his sport is basketball at the BGCNN where he does his own homework, works on the computer, and helps tutor and guide younger students.

Sutton likes helping people and her ambition is to run her own business one day, perhaps in a service busi-ness. She likes to cook and was active this summer in the BGCNN restaurant manage-ment special interest group where she learned the basics of the catering business, and presenting and serving food. She also has been involved with cheerleading at the BGCNN.

Three teens are candidatesfor BGCNN Youth of the Year

Smith is a junior at Lan-caster High School and likes cooking, art and clothing design. A career in the fash-ion industry is one avenue he thinks he might like to pursue.

To qualify for selection as Youth of the Year, the three teens will each write essays looking at the challenges and obstacles facing youth today. They will prepare brief pre-sentations and be coached by staff and volunteers on key aspects of leadership devel-opment, setting life goals, and public speaking.

The winning Northern Neck candidate, selected by a panel of community lead-ers in January, will travel to Richmond in April 2016 to

compete in the Virginia state level competition. The Vir-ginia winner will then pro-ceed to regional and national level competitions for the selection of one National winner.

“The National Youth of the Year winner is the high-est honor bestowed on Boys & Girls Club members,” said Mumford. “We expect that young man or woman to be a role model and spokesperson for America’s youth.”

Steak & Burger Dinner res-ervations, corporate and table sponsorship opportunities are available from the Club at 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock. Call 435-9696, email [email protected], or visit bgcnn.com.

College night slated for juniors and seniorsRegistration and refresh-

ments will be offered from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Presenta-tions will follow. Topics will

include “How College Can Change Your Life,” “Choos-ing the Right College,” and “Paying for College.”

Trajan Waddy, 9, and Deshay Smith, 16, have been named the youth and teen for September at the Boys & Girls Club Club of the Northern Neck, reported executive director Phillip Mumford.

Waddy is a fourth-grader at Lancaster Middle School. He has been a club member for two years, is a member of his church choir, and is active in the club’s Garden Club and PGA Golf Program.

“I felt excited and was proud that I have been chosen,” he said. “I want to be a teacher when I grow up,” added Waddy.

He was selected for his good attendance, and because he is very respectful, a good leader and helpful volunteer, said Mumford.

A junior at Lancaster High School, Deshay lived in South Africa for five years, and has been a club member for four years.

He volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, and at the club is a peer mentor as well as a member of the Keystone (Leadership) Club and the Teen Chef program.

Deshay was selected for his exemplary behavior, his willingness to lend a hand when needed—whether helping younger members with homework or assisting staff in the Learning Center, said Mumford.

His selection, “is very rewarding and means that I have done something positive and was noticed for my efforts,” said Smith.

His goal is “to live in New York and be a fashion designer.”

Boys & Girls Club names youth and teen of the month

SCHOOL REPORTS

The Boys and Girls Club of the North-ern Neck recently announced that, with the financial support of the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth (VFHY), it will offer two additional programs to Lancaster youth and families.

The youth-focused Positive Action pro-gram will promote a healthy self-concept and establish positive actions for the body and mind, reported executive director Phillip Mumford.

The program emphasizes effective self-management, social skills, character and mental health, as well as skills for setting and achieving goals, said Mumford.

Development of the Positive Action pro-gram began in 1973 by Carol Gerber Allred,

Ph.D. while she was teaching high school English, psychology and speech, he said. Dr. Allred has continuously expanded and improved the program.

It will be offered during its after-school program Mondays through Fridays at the club, 517 North Main Street, Kilmarnock.

The Strengthening Families program is an evidence-based family skills training program found to significantly improve parenting skills and family relationships, reduce prob-lem behaviors, delinquency and alcohol and drug abuse in children, continued Mumford.

It also improves social competencies and school performance, he said. The seven-week program will be offered quarterly at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Currently the club is hosting this training for five families. Each week both parent and child, ages 10 to 14, must participate.

The club will start its second group of ses-sions on January 19, said Mumford.

Three facilitators have been trained by VFHY to deliver these family sessions, including board member and former Rich-mond County Social Services director Clau-dette Henderson, Cheryl Anderson with the Virginia Department of Health and Malcolm Weldon, with the Rappahannock Area Office on Youth.

Child care and dinner will be provided each week of attendance. There is no cost to the participant families. To register, call 435-9696.

Wine and oystersEleven vineyards participated in the sixth annual Gloucester Wine Festival, sponsored by the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce. The festival was held October 24 at Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, 7900 Daffodil Lane, Gloucester. Local vineyards participating in the event included The Dog and Oyster Vineyard and Good Luck Cellars.

The wineries of Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail on November 8 will host the third annual Fall Oyster Crawl.

Visitors can sample a vari-ety of oyster dishes throughout the trail, reported Chris Flemer of Ingleside Vineyards. Each winery will present one or more oyster dishes to pair with its wines. Several wineries also will offer oyster pairings on November 7.

This annual event celebrates one of the region’s seafood spe-cialties, the oyster, for which Virginia has received much acclaim recently, said Flemer. November has been designated as Virginia Oyster Month.

According to Dr. Ada Jacox, president of the Wine Trail and owner of Athena Vineyards, “The Oyster Crawl brings together two of our region’s most famous delicacies, wine and oysters,” said Wine Trail president Dr. Ada Jacox, owner

of Athena Vineyards.Participating wineries will

be will include Athena Vine-yards and Winery of Heaths-ville, Belle Mount Vineyards of Warsaw, The Dog and Oyster Vineyard of Irvington, General’s Ridge Vineyard of Hague, Good Luck Cellars of Kilmarnock, Ingleside Vine-yards of Oak Grove, Oak Crest Vineyard & Winery of King George and Vault Field Vine-yards of Kinsale.

Currently all of the Trail’s wineries are in the Northern Neck region. The region features a rich history, abundant local seafood and wines that showcase the land’s maritime terroir, said Flemer. Whether crisp Chardon-nays, fruity whites or Bordeaux-style reds, the Trail’s wineries offer a selection of wines to please any palate.

Normal tasting fees will apply during the event and oys-ters will be available for sale.

Wineries to holdFall Oyster Crawl

“Consider the Oyster,” the current show at the Rappa-hannock Art League Studio Gallery, 19 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, will con-tinue through November 14. The show celebrates Virginia Oyster Month.

“Appreciating the oyster as a theme was innovative and a simple, universal and regional connection for all the works,” said judge Ellie Cox of Rich-mond, an award-winning artist. “Viewers will be pleased at the new and traditional ways the oyster has been addressed.”

Linda Goldstein was the first-place winner with her mixed-media piece, Mother of Pearl. Cox said her piece “splendidly engages the eye, has good composition, color and its simple and well-painted treatment of an oyster distin-guishes the piece. Extension of the painting to the mat is a

delightful surprise.”Second-place went to Marie

Armstrong for her acrylic, Conchology, and to Lella Lee Edwards’ mixed-media piece Where Oysters Can Hide.

Third-place went to Who Let the Pearls Out, a mixed-media piece by Linda Bruner; to Pearl, a watercolor and collage piece by Martha Anne King; and to Oyster House Recycled, a watercolor by Sue Ramsey.

Honorable mentions went to Herb Aman for his digital photo Dead Tired; Jacquie Col-ligan for her fine silver jewelry, Rappahannock Oyster Shell with Blue Pearl; Mel Neale for her graphite, Weems Division; and to Sukey Starkey for her mosaic, All About The Oyster.

A First Friday reception from 5 to 7 p.m. November 6 will feature the show and the judge’s comments will be shared for all winning pieces.

Journey Spa at the the Tides Inn, 480 King Carter Drive, Irvington, will host Sparks of Light from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, November 2.

Sparks of Light is a one-day event that allows participating spa professionals across the country to offer their healing gifts for free to those battling cancer, reported spa manager Shawn Miller.

Cancer patients interested in complimentary services may call the Spa at 438-4430 to make an appointment.

Services will include 30 or 60 minute sessions of custom mas-sages, custom facials, manicures and pedicures.

Sparks of Light was an idea that began in 1995, as Vicky Weiss watched her mother deal with the ravages of cancer, explained Miller. Weiss was determined to honor her mother’s 13-month journey. In 2005 she started Faye’s Light, named for her mother; a place where spa therapists and holistic practitioners come to offer free services for those battling cancer.

Omega Protein Corporation in Reed-ville and Crowther Heating & Air Condi-tioning (CHAC) in Kilmarnock have made substantial donations to the Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity (LNHFH) affiliate.

Omega has agreed to underwrite 100% of the HVAC (equipment and installation) costs and Crowther Heating & Air Condi-tioning has donated the complete HVAC system and professional installation for a new Habitat home on Wiggins Avenue in Kilmarnock that began in spring of 2014.

“The contributions we receive from our in-kind vendors like Crowther are essen-tial to the success of our home building efforts. Contributions like these enable families to move out of unsafe and sub-standard housing into simple, decent and affordable homes of their own,” said LNHFH board president Nan Harvey Flynn.

“We are very pleased to have this chance to work in partnership with Habitat to give back to our neighbors here in the Northern

Neck,” said CHAC owner Mike Crowther. “We have a great sense of pride in know-ing our work is part of a solution that cre-ates affordable housing for families in our area.”

Supporting Habitat will help strengthen the community where Omega Protein was founded more than a century ago, said general manager Andy Hall.

“We have fourth and fifth generation families working at this plant,” said Hall. “Our team has a strong commitment to giving back to our community and feels privileged to contribute to an organization like Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity. We know that our donation will assist Habitat in making it possible for families in the Northern Neck to own a safe, decent and affordable homes.”

Hall also noted that executives at Omega Protein were impressed with Habi-tat’s partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Neck. During the summer youth from the Boys and Girls Club worked on-site under professional

supervision to learn basic skills needed to enter the construction field.

“We are immensely grateful that the Omega Protein Corporation has decided to support us in carrying out our mission,” said Flynn.

While volunteers do most of the con-struction on Habitat homes, the costs of building materials and site preparation for these modest homes now approach or exceed $100,000, she said.

“Knowing that a portion of our con-struction costs will be covered by Omega Protein will allow us to advance our ambi-tious agenda of eliminating substandard housing and provide community stabiliza-tion right here in the Northern Neck,” said Flynn.

To volunteer, develop a partnership, or make a donation to Lancaster/Northum-berland Habitat for Humanity, call office manager Lauren Henry at 435-3461.

Donations also may be sent to Lan-caster/Northumberland Habitat, PO Box 908, Kilmarnock, VA 22482.

Partnership supports Habitat mission

The Northern Neck-Mid-dlesex Free Health Clinic (NNMFHC) recently received a certificate in recognition of the $7,035,721 in free prescrip-tion medication the organization has provided through its phar-macy to low-income, uninsured patients through participation with the Rx Partnership (RxP).

For more than 11 years, RxP, a public/private partnership, has led a successful and efficient effort to increase access to free prescription medications for Virginia’s eligible uninsured through free clinic and commu-nity health center partners.

“Rx Partnership is pleased to recognize the outstanding suc-cess of Northern Neck Free Health Clinic in providing vital medication to clinic patients who have no insurance and oth-erwise would be unable to afford the medication needed to treat a variety of chronic conditions,” said executive director Amy Yar-cich.

“The donated medication from pharmaceutical partners makes a huge difference in a clinic’s abil-ity to provide comprehensive

care to patients in need,” said Yarcich. “With the rising cost of many medications—particu-larly the generics that are not donated and must be purchased by the clinic—the availability of donated brand name medication ensures patients can continue to access the medication they need to improve and maintain their health.”

The clinic began participating as an RxP Affiliate in December 2004.

The clinic pharmacy uses a host of patient assistance pro-grams available through specific pharmaceutical companies in addition to RxP, and purchases generic medicines, reported clinic executive director Jean Nelson. The Pharmacy filled

32,379 prescriptions last year alone, valued at more than $4.5 million and 478,698 prescrip-tions since the clinic’s founding in 1993.

“RxP has broadened the avail-ability of medicines and stream-lined the process of obtaining them,” said Nelson. “RxP and other drug companies conduct regular audits to assure that medicines are going to qualified patients, and we are gratified that the clinic has a great track record in passing these audits.”

The clinic on October 7 received its certificate of recog-nition at the Rx Partnership 10th annual Affiliate Roundtable at the offices of the Medical Soci-ety of Virginia in Richmond.

Eastern Virginia Bankshares Inc., the bank holding com-pany of EVB recently reported its results of operations for the three and nine months ending September 30.

The results were directly impacted by the acquisition and integration of Virginia Company Bank, effective November 14, 2014, including additional legal fees and integration costs of $224,000, and increased average loan and deposit balances during the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, the company completed a private placement of $20 million in senior subordinated debt. A portion of these proceeds were used to redeem both its out-standing warrants with the U.S. Department of Treasury and the remaining $9.0 million of its Series A Preferred Stock related to the Troubled Asset Relief Pro-gram (TARP), originally issued in January 2009.

“I am pleased with our com-pany’s continued progress and results for the third quarter of 2015,” said president and chief operating officer Joe A. Shearin. “In addition to our asset quality improvements, we have mean-

ingfully increased net income available to common sharehold-ers when compared to the same periods last year, as well as the second quarter of 2015.”

For the third quarter of 2015, the company reported an increase in annualized return on average assets of 0.20% to 0.65% and an increase in annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 2.51% to 7.80%, when com-pared to the second quarter of 2015.

“Much of our improvement continues to be driven through the successful execution of our previously disclosed strate-gic initiatives and our focused efforts on growth and profit-ability,” continued Shearin. “I continue to be encouraged with the positive trends we saw during the third quarter related to loan growth, particularly in the Richmond and Tidewater markets.

“Despite improvements in our net interest margin for the three and nine months ended Septem-ber 30, 2015, when compared to the same periods last year, our net interest margin declined during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2015,” he said. “This decline was driven primarily

by lower asset yields in the his-torically low rate environment which have been compounded by competitive pressures, lower accretion income on acquired VCB loans, and higher inter-est expense due to a full quarter impact related to the issuance of our senior subordinated debt in April 2015.

“As a company, we will con-tinue to use our strategic and financial flexibility to focus our efforts on growth and profit-ability by driving operating efficiencies, containing non-interest expenses and identi-fying revenue enhancement opportunities. Throughout the fourth quarter of 2015 and for-ward, we plan to evaluate and implement strategies that we believe will improve our perfor-mance and profitability and will increase the value of our com-pany,” added Shearing.

“Given our healthy asset quality, strong balance sheet and improved financial per-formance, I am also pleased to announce that the board of directors declared another cash dividend of $0.02 per share of common stock and Series B Pre-ferred Stock payable on Novem-ber 20, 2015, to shareholders of record as of November 6, 2015,” he said.

Virginia farmers harvested 13.9 million bushels of winter wheat this past summer—22% less than in 2014 and 2% less than an August forecast.

Yield is estimated at 66 bush-els per acre, down 2 bushels from 2014, but up 3 bushels from the August forecast.

Farmers seeded 260,000 acres last fall, down 30,000 acres from 2013.

That planting decision was price-driven, explained Virginia Farm Bureau Federation grain manager Robert Harper.

Virginia generally has good growing conditions, but farm-ers are well aware of their pro-

duction costs and of the prices available for their commodities, said Harper.

“If they’re not at a point of profit, they’re not going to grow it for recreation,” he said.

Among grain producers with whom he’s in touch, there are four different perspectives as the time to plant wheat for 2016 approaches, continued Harper. Some farmers intend to plant wheat acreage comparable to what they planted in 2014.

“Some of them are quitting cold turkey” and allocating time and resources to other crops like full-season soybeans, he said.

Others intend to keep wheat

in their crop rotation plans, but will plant about half as much. Still others will plant their regu-lar wheat acreage, but decide in the spring whether to sell it for grain or livestock feed or use it as a cover crop.

Harper noted that in recent weeks futures prices for winter wheat have trended upward, and he said that is likely to factor into some producers’ wheat strategies.

“We have a little bit of encouragement for them to say, ‘OK, I am going to plant some,’ … to encourage some of them to take that middle-of-the-road approach,” he added.

Winter wheat production down more than one-fifth
