Steady as she goes on wheat seeding rates
A recent Saskatchewan study suggests it might pay to lower seeding rates for low moisture, but that might not transfer to Manitoba conditions
Recent research from Saskatchewan suggests farmers might want to hold back on their wheat seeding rate if they’re expecting a dry year, but it’s not clear how well the insight translates to Manitoba. The Western Applied Research Corporation study found that with a dry season on the horizon, a mid-to-low wheat seeding rate achieved the
