    I have an opportunity to get a neighbouring tillage farmer to grow about 15 acres of whole crop wheat for next year butwas just wondering if it is taken into account on my nitrates plan in the same way that purchased concentrate is?i

    It's not taken into account as it's a wet feed. Even crimped wheat isn't taken into account, even though it could be down to 30% moisture or less it's still considered a wet feed according to teagasc. Between beet, maize and crimped wheat no prob here.
