41 Successful Double Crop Soybeans begin with selection of the best wheat varieties Why choose ultra early and early wheat varieties? Ultra Early and Early Varieties will give high yield. Select those varieties with high test weight and tolerance to head scab Plant early varieties first in the fall to increase early harvest ( one week earlier planting will gain one day early harvest) Use good fertilizer recommendations for fall seeding for uniform growth Apply N at green up to get quick spring growth and added tillers Harvest your crop at its maturity between 16% and 18 %. Chose varieties which have light straw and are easy to combine. Important: One week earlier harvest will increase the odds for additional rain fall on the double crop soybeans to establish a stand quicker and provide a longer growing season which will increase soybean yield. Negative: One week later wheat harvest may lower the test weight, over all yield and increase grain damage from weathering and disease Kit Com

43 Successful Double Crop Soybeans begins with the selection of the best wheat varieties Take home notes: Planting wheat is a great way to maintain a green growing crop after a soybean or corn harvest. Wheat holds the soil in place to reduce erosion and reduce fertilizer run off. Heavy stands of wheat improves the soil tilth and reduces weed pressure Research shows that wheat in a rotation will increase both soybean and corn yield. Wheat provides a cash crop between other crop enterprises. Wheat spreads out your work load and allows a second crop to maximize per acre income. Think outside the box and apply all that you know to maximize your wheat yield and to get ready to maximize your double crop soybeans. Kit Com
