Winter wheat uses moisture in the fall and early spring, so it has better water utilization compared to spring-seeded crops. And if wet fields make spring seeding a problem, you can rest easier knowing winter wheat is already in the ground.
New high-yielding varieties like Wildfire and Goldrush are available with improved winter hardiness, protein content and disease tolerance. Read about our research to help farmers save fertilizer costs when growing winter wheat.
