Wheat harvest date could impact both grain yield and quality. Delaying wheat harvest puts the crop at risk for increased disease, lodging, sprouting, harvest loss, and grain contamination with mycotoxins, says Ohio State University Extension.
Because many producers wait until spring green-up to make their nitrogen (N) application, does soil sampling in the fall for nitrate-N really provide useful information for N management in wheat? Kansas State University Extension provides some insight into this question.
A thin wheat stand in spring does not always correspond to lower grain yield. Rather than relying on a visual stand assessment, growers can use these tools to estimate the yield potential of their winter wheat crop before deciding whether a field should be destroyed.
Greenbug and Hessian fly infestations can significantly reduce wheat yield and quality, but breeding for resistance to these two pests using marker-assisted selection just got a new tool from a Texas A&M AgriLife Research study.
A 2017 USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education national survey of farmers showed that cover crops boosted subsequent wheat yields by 1.9 bushels per acre, or 2.8%.
In the late 1980s, farmers in my region seemed to be stuck on a production plateau, or were even losing ground. Everyone was growing only spring wheat or barley and leaving half their acres in black fallow every year.
Higher crop yields and improved land productivity is possible with no-tilled fields with continuous cropping vs. a fallowed winter-wheat system with tillage, says USDA-ARS researcher Randy Anderson.

Could no-till push up annual wheat yields by as much as four times what they were a decade or so ago? When you juggle some math, that’s exactly what has happened in an area of eastern Montana.

The Kentucky Small Grains Growers Association looked at seed treatments, foliar products and soil-applied products to determine if any would provide a positive impact on wheat yields.
