Time of Sewing Controls Winter Wheat Crops
Bayfield County farmers are urged to sow winter wheat in late August or early September to ensure hardy fall growth, strong spring vigor, and higher yields. Delwiche notes August 24 plantings beat September 5 ones, while proper seed selection, cleaning, resting, and field prep improve germination and stand. Winter wheat yields Wisconsin advantage over spring wheat and serves as a nurse crop, rust-resistant and easier to seed in fall.
