Spring wheat harvest date

[bobk]

How much later than ww ? cannot see any point sowing sb .

 

[SilliamWhale]

Any time between 28th august and 20th sept

 

[Gong Farmer]

Usually immediately after the last of the winter wheat harvest.

 

[bobk]

So 4 weeks later ?

 

[chipchap]

About a fortnight after you spray it with roundup.

 

[Wombat]

Usually immediately after the last of the winter wheat harvest.

So early sept then?

 

[Gong Farmer]

I'm just saying there usually isn't much of a gap between the two, so whenever the winter crop is finished the spring is more or less ready. Never before though.
Obviously depends on circumstances and sowing dates. If you have 10 acres of September sown Gallant and 500 of May-sown spring wheat, there may be a gap.

Only once I combined SW in August but it was on strong land after beet and continuously out yielded the WW. Make sure you sow between 230-250kg/ha if March/April drilling, yes it’s high but it doesn’t tiller like WW.
I’ve seen more crops of 4t/ac, 80kg/HL and 2.5t/acre straw SW than I have WW.
