Seeding spring wheat into winter wheat works! Its feed wheat when you do this, and you harvest separately, but when you have winterkill “holes” it’s an awesome option. 👍

DANG!! Found my first stripe rust for 2026. A real “hot spot” where a tree slowed down wind and increased humidity. Get out the sprayer!! 🤦🏼

This is a great article by Kelvin. So disappointing that a major player in the food industry would do this.
Fear the food! Maple Leaf Foods pays influencers to mislead, fear-monger about farming practices realagriculture.com/2026/05/…

Go time!! Finally conditions are favorable to seed some oatmeal seeds.
@WheatPete Are these oats considered winter oats if they are planted before winter is over??? 😆 😏
