AGRONOMY WEEKLY NEWS
Wheat
After last weeks rains, we were able to hit some wheat field’s late Saturday afternoon into Sunday. If you don’t have any fertilizer on your wheat yet, now is the time to be thinking about it. We have finished up with any first application’s of nitrogen on wheat, and are moving forward on any full applications, or even second applications for some.

If you are unsure of whether a full nitrogen application or split nitrogen application is best for your wheat, speak with your agronomist!

The overnight temperature’s this week are forecasted to be below 0C. When this is in the forecast, it is best to avoid any application of UAN on wheat. Unfortunately, the frost on the leaves of the wheat acts like “glue” to the UAN, and can cause leaf burn.

If you know you are going to have Wanstead Farmers Co-operative custom apply your wheat fertilizer, or herbicide, do not hesitate to let your agronomist know. Planning ahead will lead to more efficient applications when the weather allows!
