Thursday, September 11, 2025By Blake JacksonWinter wheat planting for 2025 is approaching, and proper preparation can set the stage for a successful crop. Refer to the 2025 Wisconsin Winter Wheat Performance Test to choose varieties suited to your region. For wheat planted from September 20 to October 1, aim for a seeding rate of 1,750,000 seeds per acre. If planting occurs after October 1, incrementally increase the seeding rate to compensate for reduced fall tillering. Following these guidelines will help ensure a healthy and productive winter wheat crop for the 2025 season.
