wow just amazing to me that you plant 3 inches deep! Even half that depth just destroys our yields here on irrigated ground in idaho. It's all about meeting the moisture here. We irrigate and plant into the best moisture possible, which hopefully allows us to plant so that seed is just barely covered...1/4 inch or even less. The shallower the better.....as long as we can maintain enough moisture to germinate the seed. I'm hoping we can crack 200 bushels per acre next year.
I see the same thing on dry land ground in north dakota clay loam. Dad would always chase the moisture down 2” plus and the stand reduction was just terrible. I plant it 1/2 - 3/4 in every year now, regardless of moisture and have the highest germ, most even stand most yield we have ever had. Talking spring wheat here tho.
Listened to the experts a few years ago. Planted inch and half here. Terrible stand and yield on heavier ground. Here shallower the better except on best drained ground
Is winterkill and lodging an issues in your areas? Frost heaving/winter kill especially and lodging issues with shallow planting here in Ontario (where wheat Pete is). 1" is minimum here for that reason
@@joshnasielski Yes to winterkill and lodging. I really don't know how you guys can plant so deep, but I suspect it is because you don't get the regular moisture to maintain that shallow depth.
food plotter in northeast mi. I used a chicken manure based fertilizer at planting and its shocking how much better it looks compared to the past years without fert. wheat Pete needs to put out some food plot videos. :)
I have a question for Pete, do you not have issues with the Frit Fly (Oscinella Frit), or WSMV and the wheat curl mite? I saw a 80% yield reduction this year after a widespread WSMV infection. I'm on the other side of the world but last couple of years November planted crops yield better than October planted crops, when 15-20 years ago the best yields were with September planted crops.

I’m hoping you do. That would be awesome.

Question... Can planting to early be risky from being killed by the cold of winter if the wheat grows to fast in a warm fall like we're experiencing?

Wondering the same thing
