Wheat Condition
Wheat conditionNice looking wheat in Bond County. It looks like maybe a little more is being planted this year. The good looking double crop soybeans may be influencing that decision.

Wheat Condition
Wheat conditionThe wheat below is just starting to turn. It has a lot of disease. I would like it to stay green a week longer. We saw wheat today near Troy and O'Fallon that is completely turned. Harvvest might start next week if it stays dry.

Southern IL Wheat
Wheat conditionI headed south today to look at some new ground I will be sampling later this spring. Early in the week, wheat was looking pale and yellow. It is starting to green up and look OK at this point. Some of the stands have a few small bare patches, but overall condition is good. It is hard to say excellent because it was planted late for the most part.

Winter Wheat Damage
Wheat conditionAfter or even during a cold winter, there is always a question as to the whether or not to replace the wheat with another crop because of winter kill. It is really way to early to even consider in Illinois. You need to look at the wheat after it breaks dormancy to know what is best. University of Kentucky offers advice on stand and tiller counts. Keep in mind that if you have crop insurance you will want to consult with the insurance people before you destroy the crop and replant.
