@@mikemitchell2554Hi Mike winter wheat needs at least three leaves on it for optimal winter survival. Ice cover on the ground is the worst killer followed by extreme cold with no snow cover and of course water puddles. The closer you are to the US border the better the chances of not getting winter kill. Looking good so far
Here in Denmark we have winter wheat, for the last 50+ years. If you got a snow cover it can survive almost anything, only frozen ground and melted snow kill it, and temp going up and down the freeze point pull the plants “over”. Our climate is of coz a lot different. And yes, genetics have improved a lot. Also I see you seeded it in furrows, it will protect the plants a lot.
Looks good. Last few years have had very little winter kill in southern Alberta. When we do have winter kill it's not from the cold winter days typically. It's from snow melt and runoff in the spring. So I'd expect your potholes will winter kill before your hill tops will.
suggest you try frost seeding in the fall both mustard and canola after the ground cools off below the temperature for them to germinate. they will emerge before the ground is dry enough to seed in the spring and should be ready to harvest 2-4 weeks earlier. in the late 80s and 90s I had a number of clients in Alberta who did this with canola and it was usually their highest yielding that year. some years a late freeze killed the crop but they said it was worth it to spread out harvest and over time they made money from the higher yield.
Do a test trial (like 20 acres) and spray a fungicide on right before the snowfall. On our test plot it yielded better and it was healthier coming out of winter.
We have winter rye as well in Wisconsin but it’s only rained once since the end of August so it’s not growing well… luckily it’s like 80° the next few days and no rain. 😅
Plants are standing in the furrows or in the stubble so a little bit of snow protects them from hard wind and very low temperatures.n A few days of high temperatures now wil give some extra body to the wheat coming winter months. We are growing winter wheat for the first time in 80 years. Due tho rain we are not getting all the winter wheat in so that has to wait to next spring.So Mike we can compare what future brings us🤣
I know hard white is catching on for specialty whole-wheat flour. It has a milder flavor than red wheat and behaves closer to [northern] all-purpose flour in recipes.
Hey Mike, got a question. Does HRW mature and harvest earlier there? All I know is south central Kansas HRW. No mater what year it is, harvest always starts the second week of June around here…
The measurements of a growing business are trying new things and failing at some of those things. "That's the way we have always done it" is an obituary for a dying business
Don't confuse zero vegetative wheat =0°c with vernalization, which takes place between 3 and 10° for a minimum of 7 weeks between the 1-leaf stage and tillering to initiate future flowering for winter wheat (60 days) and much less for alternative spring wheat (15 days). In Canada, you shouldn't have this kind of problem, but in France, with global warming, it's starting to have an impact.
Good idea... making changes per the situation. We're cheering for the winter wheat success!
Thankyou!
Yeah we will cheer for you guys, you had it really rough the last 3 years

Very satisfying to see a sea of green
Hopping for a great growing season with a lot of moisture for the crops. You guys deserve a break this year.
You need one of those fancy European rock pickers. You could repurpose the stones or sell them for landscaping uses.

Crop Looks good Mike, well done for trying keep up the good work 👍
I usually have seen winter wheat seeded into standing stubble to provide additional snow cover and moisture in the spring.
Lookin GREEN !!!
Best of luck with the wheat crop Mike! Thanks for sharing.
Do a test trial (like 20 acres) and spray a fungicide on right before the snowfall. On our test plot it yielded better and it was healthier coming out of winter.
We put 28 on top 2 times online spring and 2 rounds of fungicide. Plus 335 lb of dry fertilizer when we plant
We always put nitrogen on in the spring. , Broadcast 100 lbs. / acre , It helps tillering and increases yields a lot
I am 60 a kiwi, but in Canada when early 20,s seeded a lot of winter wheat , pretty sure was very common then 35+ years ago.
The few times I grew winter wheat, I sold it all as a #2 HRSW each time!!!
would also like an update on the well Mike
Welkers seeded 3000 plus acres of winterwheat, hoping for good moisture and temperatures.
I have winter Rye finally coming up in Tennessee but we haven't had rain since Hurricane Helene. Supposed to get some thursday so hoping that'll help
We have winter rye as well in Wisconsin but it’s only rained once since the end of August so it’s not growing well… luckily it’s like 80° the next few days and no rain. 😅
@@crandonborth dang I think y'all have had less rain that us. Lol dry years come and go down here
Mines just starting to poke up in Ontario, dry as it can be right now after a summer of non stop rain but hoping for a nice little soaker tomorrow!
@@alexkroes6859 hope ya get some. I think mine are just now 4-5" tall.
@@Andy-vh2ue fingers crossed it gets established enough to survive the winter 🤞 then cut it early in may and plant corn behind it!

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et le chargement pour seme octobre le blé dur est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Nice germination, Mike. (But if you were to pick your excellent rock crop, get in a crusher, you could sell the gravel to the M.D.?)
Let grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way 🎵
For drought conditions its generally better to seed light 😮
Hope it works out for you. Can you use oats as a break and drill first wheats into that?

When you are not there how your people know what field to plant? do tyou have them on a map and numbered or do you use GPS pins?
Sorry, I’m late. Good afternoon.
did u put fert
I have just finished planting near Stratford Upon Avon UK ,what variety of wheat are you putting in Mike?
Roll. The fields pushes rocks down
Obviously🤦🏼
@@clearskiesranch1362Right?? 😂 Like duh
Meh. If he gets a crop to harvest maybe he’ll run a stripper. Strippers don’t care about no stinking rocks…
This crop will buy next 700+hp tractor! ☺️
hey Mike what row spacing are you planting your wheat i seen a guy down in Tennessee trying 30 inch row winter wheat whats your thoughts on that?
It would never work. Mike needs the crop to canopy as soon as possible to conserve moisture and help with weed control
Hi Mike. If you get snow down south will that help insulate the winter wheat ? Probably a dumb question.
Need snow cover or winter kill will be high
Hey Mike, how did the 800 r46 lsw tire compare to the 800 r38 michelins?
I think I prefer the 800 Michelins
Mike How many acres did seed south and north?
Seeding after Oct 15. In. Ontario reduces yields Plants do not tiller.
Hey Mike, got a question.
Does HRW mature and harvest earlier there?
All I know is south central Kansas HRW. No mater what year it is, harvest always starts the second week of June around here…
How many lbs per acre did you plant?
Have you ever done Camolina
Looking good
Pasa un rodillo, lo agradecerás el día de la cosecha.
👋😊
👍
You should roll

You will be ok because it will have to freeze to vernalize the Winter wheat so it will make seed.

Winter wheat will never do any good into wheat stubble There is something In. the straw that inhibits growth
