Early plowing yields gain in wheat and alfalfa
Agricultural tests at Lincoln and other stations show early fall plowing improves soil moisture absorption, seedbed quality, and weed and nitrogen management, often boosting wheat yields by five to ten bushels per acre. If harvest delays plowing, disk ground after cutting to maintain timing. Stacking grain enables earlier plowing.
