Proper Wheat Seeding Time Demonstrated In Nebraska
University of Nebraska trials show optimal sowing dates for western Nebraska wheat around September 10 to 20, with earlier plantings risking fall diseases and soil moisture loss, and later plantings increasing erosion and winter kill risk. Elevation shifts planting dates by about one day per 100 feet, with higher sites needing earlier sowing. Charles Fenster prepared the display for NN Extension agronomy.

University of Nebraska Extension livestock specialist Paul Guyer advises waiting to harvest corn and forage sorghums until maturity to maximize feed value per acre.

Storage Choice: High-Moisture Versus Dry Grain Storage
Nebraska Extension engineer E A Olson compares high moisture and dry grain storage, urging drying systems for early harvest to cut field losses of 15 to 30 bushels per acre. Dry systems include layer and hat bin options with guaranteed capacity. High moisture storage saves drying costs and allows early harvest, with silos usable if crack free and topped with a plastic seal.
