Soil sampling in the wheat stubble is in full swing. This is the perfect time to start your rotation of consistent and effective soil sampling, and helps to plan for P+K needs on your fields. Wanstead is proud to offer grid, zoned, and perimeter composite sample options! Take advantage of our VRT technology before it becomes busy again.
If you would like to be added to our list for soil sampling, please call one of our branches! Please note, our current turn-around-time on soil sampling is 2-3 days.
If you have gotten sampling done, and are curious about the results, please note that it usually takes us approximately 10 days to see results back from our 3rd party lab.
Now is also a great time to start putting down fertilizer on wheat stubble (with your soil analysis), as well as plant cover crops. Planting your cover crop this time of year helps to ensure that the crop does not get too much of a top, but still establishes a good root system. Reach out to your Wanstead agronomist about your options for cover crops and fertilizer application.

Additionally, now is the time of year to start thinking about preparing for fall wheat planting (Are you going to need seed?). With 2023 SRWT prices still north of $9, this crop is a profitable option to consider.
