Winter (Fall Planted) Wheats
These wheat cultivars are fall-planted on our southeast Michigan homestead. Winter grains require vernalization, a period of cold, during their lifecycle to flower and set grain.
Winter wheat planted in the fall usually has a higher yield than spring planted wheat. For me, it's often, its a race against, rain, snow and mud to plant in the spring.
For growing information, please see our presentations that discuss growing grains on a small, homestead scale.
