Record low temperatures with periodic warm days continue to wreak havoc on this year’s wheat cropSome fields are beginning to show more pronounced damage while other fields have moderate to little damage.
Producers wanting to make a nitrogen application now should consider utilizing a controlled release product. Other forms of nitrogen should be applied once the wheat crop breaks dormancy and begins ‘greening up’.
