Early Plowing Best For Winter Wheat
Extension agronomist Ed Dyas of Iowa State College recommends early plowing to conserve moisture for winter wheat. Iowa tests show higher yields from late July to early August plowing, but low rainfall may hinder early plowing and seedbed prep. Sowing time hinges on Hessian fly safe date and moisture. Phosphate and potash should be used as needed, with nitrogen topdressing next spring. Four varieties are advised: Tohardi and Minter in north, Pawnee and Iowin in south. Towin is leaf rust resistant but weak-strawed and should be limited to upland and lighter soils.
