Early planted wheat is starting to peak through the ground and is looking to have a very even stand. For wheat planted between now and October 15th, we recommend to use a seeding rate of 1.6-1.8 million seeds/acre. After the 15th, look to increase your population. In 2024/25, will we be accepting HRWT, SWWT and SRWT. HRWT seems to be pulling more acres this year due to its premium over SRWT.
Drills are going to be following closely behind the combine this year. With this, please make sure to not forget starter fertilizer in the rush to get the wheat in the ground. Using InfinityFX in the fall is a great option if you plan to underseed your wheat with red clover in the spring as it has stronger action on many weeds than some of its counterparts.
For fields that had wheat in them, plan on spraying your double-cut clover after the 3rd week of October to get the best "bang-for-your-buck" on the root system.
Wheat seed is available for this fall! We will have Constellation and Blaze Seed in bulk, with the rest of the C&M varieties available in totes and bags. We are also treating wheat seed this year. Please call early to get on the list for cleaning and treating seed!
