760- PLANTING WHEAT IN NEBRASKA

Planting Wheat Too Early May Lead To Problems:

Several reports from across the state indicate wheat growers are starting to plant and that some wheat is already emerging. Nebraska research has shown that wheat planted before the recommended planting dates may not provide optimum yields, especially in areas where soil moisture is limited. In addition, planting wheat too early can lead to increased disease and insect problems.

Wheat Yields:
In much of Nebraska’s wheat growing area, water is the most important yield limiting factor. Wheat seeded too early in the fall uses more soil water in the fall and can contribute to more freeze injury in the spring since drier soils cool down faster.
The recommended seeding dates for Nebraska's winter wheat vary substantially from one end of the state to the other – from September 1 in the extreme northwest area to October 1 in the southeast tip — and have been proven and verified through years of research and farmer experience. Some years an earlier seeding may have an advantage and some years a later date may have an advantage, but in the long term, the suggested seeding dates will give the highest average yield.
