Michigan Agricultural College guidance stresses early thorough seed bed prep for fall wheat. Tillage should end in a fine mellow topsoil over compact subsoil, with seven inches of plowing if possible, rolling and disking to avoid lumpiness, and frequent harrowing to conserve moisture and weed control. A mulched rough surface aids rain absorption and moisture retention for drought and Hessian fly resilience, while timing after summer crops or spring grains can yield larger fall wheat crops.
