Hi guys, I realize this isn't a tractor question and it is a long one, but you guys have always been helpful. I am a young farmer getting started. This is my first time growing wheat. I farm west of the twin cities, MN. This weekend we received 5 plus inches of rain to give you a basis of my questions. I finally got my RB07 Spring wheat planted this past Wednesday May 18th. I was able to spread the fertilizer about 3 weeks prior and incorporated it by harrowing in. The field wasn't quite ready to work, so that was our only choice. This was in a moldboard plowed field so we got decent soil coverage of the fertilizer. The field is a mix of heavy and light soils, but mostly heavy and hilly. I planted the field at a rate of about 2 bushels to the acre. Saturday we absolutely got a gully washer and washed out decent portions of the field. There is seed and sediment all over on the lower portions of the field. I will be definitely adding more waterways. My questions pertain on what to do. How much fertilizer could possibly be left?
Can I replant the washed out portions of the field and expect any yield?
Do I need to replant the entire field?
Do you think I need to re-fertilize the field? If so in what way? If I am not going to replant the entire field I wouldn't be able to incorporate the fertilizer in the all ready planted portions. Can I apply a foliar fertilizer later on? Can this be done at the same time I apply Huskie herbicide and the fungicide? Would this foliar fertilizer be enough to carry the crop?
I appreciate any and all help you can advise. I am worried about not having high enough protein content and being turned away from the elevator this fall. Is this a likely scenario? Thanks again for any help you can give. I am learning. I expect hail or wind damage. I never thought I wouldn't even see the seed germinate. Thanks for your advice.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
