With a wheat crop in Lambton, Middlesex, Chatham-Kent and Essex down 12 -20 per cent from last year, how can we get the best agronomic returns from our planted acres? The benefits of including wheat, and especially wheat plus red clover in your rotation may persist beyond just the following year. Studies have shown that under seeding red clover into wheat resulted in yield responses in every year for three consecutive years compared to when red clover was not included in four-year rotation systems.
