Gear up for winter wheat in Manitoba this fall
Manitoba farmers are urged to plant winter wheat between August 20 and September 15 to reach the three to four leaf stage before freeze up. Key tips include planting into standing stubble for snow cover, using the cleanest fields, shallow seeding, and applying phosphate with seed plus early spring nitrogen. Norstar is the recommended variety. insurance coverage is limited to southwest and Swan River regions with standing stubble and pre September 15 planting.
