Best Soil for Wheat and Management Tips
The best land for wheat should have a clay subsoil and be high and dry with good drainage. Sowing is timed toward the end of the northern cotton belt season, red bearded varieties suit the South, and soil and variety selection plus thorough preparation can yield for family use though the region is not primarily suitable for wheat. Stable manure or cotton seed should be plowed in or harrowed, land deeply plowed, seed beds fine, and rolling done after sowing to improve stand and frost resistance, with field peas as a strong forerunner.
