I live in North Carolina. I am planning on planting all my fields with wheat this fall. When should I plan on planting. Should I fertilize when planting or later.

Thanks
Devin

Devin,

Just got back from the field. Gonna hit "er with the drill in the morning.

A rod weeder is used as the last tillage pass before planting to insure there are no weeds in the field and to leave a smooth seedbed.

It has a one-inch rod that runs just under the surface of the soil. It spins backwards to travel direction and lifts the weeds up and out.

Guys like "em "cause they just "lift" the top couple of inches of soil and then drops it again. Really saves moisture.

You need to check for the fly free (hessian fly)date in your area. Wheat requires a shallow application of phosphorus because of it's shallow root system. If you use MAP or Dap this will give you an adequate nitrogen rate until spring when you should apply addition nitrogen based on your stand and yield goals.

In our area of central Illinois (Champaign) the fly free date is October 1
