west texas wheat planters

tryin to figure out when yall plant your wheat and what you put on it to make it grow.... of corse WATER AND fertilizer but be more specific please. i am 50 miles south of lubbock

[txarcher]

Most people that are wanting to graze it will plant from late Aug. through Sept. The cutoff date to have it planted if you want to insure it will probably be somewhere around the end of November. Your best bet to make sure that you are fertilizing right is to talk to a crop consultant in the area.

What town? What are you sowing wheat for? The purpose will help determine timing and what to put into it, I'm not just being nosy

First off you better hope for more rain before dreaming of a lush green wheat field

I'm in the same area and have had a decent stand the last two years until it was about ankle high and then the lack of moisture did it in

FYI. I planted in mid sept. fertilized when planted and still had poor results

It's all about the rainfall in that part of the world I'm afraid.

Good luck to you this year man

Got this one opening day last season. Our neighbor has a wheat field prolly 300 acres and it did ok but mine never even sprouted

You need to plow it so that the ground will absorb moisture (moisture bank) for the crop to grow on. Least amount of runoff the better.

ours was always planted a week or so around sept 1st. always depended on the rain

Plant your wheat or mix mid sept. Do a soil test to see what it needs. If nothing else throw some fertilizer in with the seed and plant away. (Asuming your broadcasting)... And pray for water.
