Seed Depth and Timing for Winter Wheat Yields
The text explains optimal seeding depth around one and a half to two inches under the dust mulch, notes that shallow or deep planting affects how quickly shoots reach the surface, and emphasizes sowing time relative to Hessian fly presence. It recommends four to five weeks before first frost in fly-free areas, while delaying to late September or early October where the Hessian fly is common, with some fields yielding well despite winter risks.
