Greetings:

We have a farm in Northeast Illinois and have traditionally grown
soybeans and corn - alternating fields yearly. I have been
considering adding Winter Wheat as a second crop. I have heard mixed
feelings on this...some saying this would bring down the yield of the
traditional crops. Does anyone have any opinions or reference
material on this?

Thanks,

Brett

We experimented aerial seeding wheat or rye in corn in September in SW Iowa,
USA. We interseeded the soybeans in the live wheat the next spring. We
combined the wheat in the standing soybeans in July and combined the
soybeans later that fall. The years we tried this were not good wheat
years. I think that maybe it could have worked in the right year. In a dry
year the wheat will hurt the soybean yields more.

Good luck,
