With our fly-free date of October 15th just around the corner, several of us are beginning to think about wheat planting.  As we enter this wheat season, I hope you will find utility in our hot-off-the-press 2014 Tennessee Wheat Quick Facts Publication (W 321)which is now available online.  This document is designed to be a single page (printed front/back) summary of the most pertinent information in wheat production stemming from University of TN research.  Additionally, the document also contains links to many full-length UTIA publications through QR codes scattered throughout the document.

The document can be accessed by clicking the in-text hyperlink or by clicking on the image above.  Special thanks should be given to the numerous specialists and professors both here in Jackson and in Knoxville who contributed.

These guidelines were developed to minimize risk while maximizing economic returns and vary substantially from recommendations based on maximizing the single factor of agronomic yield.  Still, the approach outlined in this publication should maximize your bottom line-particularly in markets such as this one!
