In Reply to: Wheat After Corn? posted by super99 on August 24, 2008 at 02:51:27:
Where will you find rr-wheat??????? Has not been released/approved!
Up here in the north, wheat can be hurt with the fungus & other disease that grew on the corn stalk - both are grasses, share some disease. Fall plow the cornstalks under, a black field (will make tree-huggers & no-tillers cringe....) carries less disease into the spring.
I plant oats into disked cornstalks in spring, that works well - just got 93bu oats off a field, and there was turnips, alfalfa, clover, & peas planted with it so that ground got a lot of roots pulling off it! Neighbor offered me a buck a bale for the straw, he did all the baling. Cattle will enjoy grazing the regrowth into November. So doing fun stuff and extra crops can be rewarding. Just be careful of wheat after corn, there can be a disease problem up here.
Some corn herbicides are longer lasting & hurt wheat seedlings. Know what you did and what will work on this.
Double cropping up north gets interesting. The combine will run down a lot of the beans, dry times in July/August will hurt you as the wheat pulled allt he moisture out. Could be a fun experiment, go for it for fun, but don't be planning on spending your bean income too early. :) :)
