5-10 Inch Snow Is Wheat's Need
Nebraska's winter wheat crop needs five to ten inches of snow to seal cracked top soil. A E Anderson, state federal agricultural statistician, reported Friday. He warned that without moisture for an extended period air may reach and kill wheat roots, but there appears to be no cause for alarm yet. He added that October 11 rain fortified the crop and the grain is holding its own due to subsoil moisture and strong top and root growth in the dormant stage.
