Small Grain Production

Wheat AND SMALL GRAINS Production and Management TOPICS

The major objective of a small grain production system is the interception, fixation, and storage of sunlight energy. The most important components of such a system are variety selection, timely planting, disease control, and adequate fertilization. The effects, interactions, and relationships of various inputs to small grain production systems are discussed here.

    Do I Really Need to Wait for the Fly-Free Date? Wheat Planting Date and Other Management Considerations for Fall 2022

    Author(s): Laura Lindsey , Author(s): Kelley Tilmon , Author(s): Pierce Paul , Author(s): Ed Lentz, CCA , Author(s): Eric Richer, CCA

    Now that we’ve entered September, wheat planting is just around the corner. It can be tempting to plant wheat before your county’s Hessian fly-safe date (Figure 1); however, the best time to plant wheat is the 10-day period starting the day after the fly-safe date. Planting before the fly-safe date increases the risk of insect and disease problems including Hessian fly and aphids carrying Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus.

  5. Supplemental Forages to Plant in July After Wheat

    Author(s): Mark Sulc , Author(s): Bill Weiss

    Some producers may be considering planting a supplemental forage crop after winter wheat grain harvest for various reasons. Some areas of the state are becoming very dry. In many areas, the wet weather this spring resulted in ample forage supply, but good to high-quality forage is in short supply because of the wet weather that delayed harvesting until the crop was mature, or it resulted in rained-on hay that lowered quality.
