Wheat yields from late germination shown by 14 year study
Nebraska agronomy research finds winter wheat sown late in the year yields about half of normal. February germination reduces October 1 yields to around seven to eight bushels per acre, while later March sowing nears spring wheat levels. Westward areas fare better due to milder temp and less rust.
