Old man winter had a tight grip on the Inland Northwest as we moved into March and spring wheat planting feels a long way off, but hopefully, it will be just around the corner. I hope you have already spoken for your spring wheat seed as it might be in tight supply this year, especially “that” variety. The Small Grains Variety Selection Tool can help you navigate through selecting a spring wheat adopted for your precipitation zone.Time will be of the most importance this spring, and going from soil sampling to fertilizer applications will be a short turn-around. The WSU Dryland Wheat Nitrogen Fertilizer Calculator is a tool that can assist farmers quickly make nitrogen fertilizer application decisions. Good luck this spring.
