The Press-Dispatch Early wheat could provide an opportunity for double cropping weather has pushed Indi- ana's wheat crop about two weeks ahead of schedule, presenting an opportunity for growers to consider plant- ing a second crop following harvest. In a more typical year, In- Unseasonably warm diana's wheat crop wouldn't mature until mid-June in the southern part of the state, and harvest wouldn't wrap up until mid-July in the north, said Herb Ohm, Purdue Uni- versity research agronomist. With the crop so far ahead of schedule this spring, grow- ers should have a better win- dow of opportunity to plant no-till corn or soybeans im- mediately following wheat harvest. "Given the unusual earli- "And enough rain could hurt not only test weights, but grain milling and bak- ing qualities." Ohm suggested monitor- ing weather and the wheat crop's progression in the coming weeks, and if the forecast is favorable, plant- ing corn or soybeans as soon as wheat is harvested. Double-crop corn and soybeans require little or no seedbed preparation be- cause, according to Ohm, it's a fine situation for no-till. Growers, however, need to watch the weather because soil moisture is key for corn and soybean germination. "Growers should cut wheat ness of the wheat crop along with high commodity prices, farmers should give more at- tention to their crops," Ohm said. "There might be an op- portunity to harvest wheat at higher moisture levels and follow it with another crop." Preliminary data show Wednesday, April 18, 2012 B-7 stubble to about four-six inches, then no-till the fol- lowing crop in as soon as pos- sible," he said. "They also need to watch the forecast. If soil moisture is high enough, or rains are predicted with- in a week, it would be a great opportunity to plant a sec- ond crop. "I would only have second that harvesting wheat at a moisture level of 18 percent to 20 percent does not hurt the milling and baking qual- ity. It also prevents reduced test weight that can occur with each rainfall after wheat in the field reaches physio- logical maturity. Harvesting at higher mois- ture will require growers to dry the wheat at about 95-100 degrees, but with wheat pric- es in the $6 area, Ohm said it could be worth it. "If growers wait for wheat thoughts if it is too dry." In the southern part of Indiana, both corn and soy- beans are viable options for a second crop following wheat. Because of the cooler condi- tions and shorter growing season in the northern part of the state, soybeans are the better option.
