Project Description
- There is a resurgence of interest in the Winter Wheat crop on the Eastern side of Saskatchewan because of: (1) the delayed harvest conditions experienced with spring crops due to cooler and wetter conditions in the past few years, (2) the problem with the wheat midge which caught many producers by surprise, especially during the last year; (3) the problems associated with tombstone is causing producers to look at other cereal crops to try and avoid the problem in southern Manitoba. The recent momentum towards direct seeding means that many producers have the necessary seeding equipment to manage winter wheat well.
