WINTER WHEAT
ABOUT WINTER WHEAT
Winter wheat is planted in the fall, allowing it to establish roots before going dormant during the cold winter months. It resumes growth in early spring and is typically harvested early to mid-summer. This crop requires well-drained soil and benefits from timely planting (usually September to October), proper fertilization, and weed control. Winter wheat offers advantages like erosion control, efficient use of winter moisture, and potentially higher yields than spring wheat due to its longer growing season.
