An agronomist says much of the Wisconsin winter wheat crop looks very good so far. Bob Berkovich with Pioneer tells Brownfield the early soybean harvest last fall helped farmers get winter wheat planted earlier. He says a warm October helped the wheat grow before winter set in. “We’re finally starting to see it green up a little bit although with the cooler temperatures it is a little bit slower to green up than normal, but still, that doesn’t have me that concerned and I really do think that the wheat is going to be in good shape here moving forward.”
Berkovich says this might be the year when wheat growers consider splitting the nitrogen application.
