    When do we stop seeding wheat?

    I have the last of the wheat in the back
    of my truck where its been sitting for a
    few days now. GRRR.

    Its only 400 bushels but by the time it
    dries up to seed (the lowest/wettest
    fields were saved for last, great idea
    while it dried out) it will be June 1 or
    later.

    First frost is usually Sept 12ish so
    that would give me 102 days, pretty
    dicey for wheat. I already seed at a
    pretty high plant density.

    If I keep the seed over for next year
    will the germ be down? Better off to
    just deliver it as commercial grain
    rather than screw around trying to store
    400 bushels separately that may not have
    germ for 2012 anyways?

    Seed it, bump my seeding rate up past 35
    plants/foot to try to push maturity and
    harvest it on the green side? Or say
    screw it and get some barley?

    What test percent for germ or was it 2009 crop? If it is 98, should be fine carry over to next year and may affect some germ percent down but small no big deal if keep for 5 years then it big deal. Or if your wheat didn't treatment, maybe try ask your seed dealer to exchange for barley but in here area seed barley are hard to get and are sold out. I has some left over Metacalf barley which is 96 percent and going to keep as carry over next year.

      if your going to deliver that wheat, be sure not to get any fertilizer mixed in it! If they find any you'll be SOL
