Winter Wheat Seedbed Preparation
Plant into a firm seedbed at a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Untilled stubble fields are usually firm. Rod weeders or drag harrows can be used to firm up fallow fields. Plowing or other deep tillage immediately prior to planting buries protective residue, produces a loose seedbed and greatly increases the risk of winterkill. Seed depth of 1-1 1/2 inches in no-till works well.
