Description

W inter cereal crops are excellent for inclusion in a crop rotation. Winter cereals include winter wheat, fall rye and winter triticale. Winter wheat is an excellent crop for many southern and central Alberta farmers to consider growing. Winter wheat should be direct-seeded in early September and is usually harvested several weeks earlier than spring wheat the next year. Therefore, including winter wheat in the crop rotation spreads out the workload and results in good time management for farmers.
