Early Plowing For Wheat Proves Good Practice In Missouri
University of Missouri agronomist H T Krusekopf notes early plowing in July to August boosts wheat yields by 5 to 10 bushels per acre versus September plowing. Early seedbed prep improves moisture and nitrates, aids germination, and allows straw decay, with risks if straw decomposes as wheat grows. Continuous wheat at times with legumes or soybeans affects moisture and fertility, so early seedbed prep remains advisable.
