Kansas State College agronomists say winter barley, while not a reliable grain in Kansas, makes valuable fall and early winter pasture. Best seeding window is Sept 15–25 at 2 bushels per acre on winter-wheat prepared land, with eastern and central regions favoring Tennessee, winter, and Michigan varieties. Survival varies by region, with south-central and southeastern areas more favorable.

Farmers urged to use Hessian fly safe date for wheat
County agents and Mr. Kelly push farmers to obtain information and plant at the Hessian fly safe date. Records spanning about 20 years support that early seedbed prep and volunteer wheat control improve yields.
