How much value per acre?

Linking acreage estimates with the value of deliveries, the data suggests intermediate wheatgrass and birdsfoot trefoil were the two highest value forage seed crop this year - over $3,000 per acre. Besides these small acreage-high value crops (each less than 20 ac), the perennial ryegrass, slender and crested wheatgrass, hybrid bromegrass and tall fescue deliveries in 2019- 2020 were valued at $2,000 to $2,800 per acre.
