A Michigan farmer says early planted winter wheat crops look spectacular.

Jeff Krohn tells Brownfield, “We got a lot of nice fall tillers, looks really good.”

“Even some of it planted in November actually did grow, we had a very mild December,” he shares.

He says winter annual weed pressure in his no-till fields is also greater than normal.

“Because we had such a mild winter the henbit, the chickweed, those kinds of weeds that start in the fall kind of stay half dormant in the wintertime and then flower early in the spring, those are very healthy right now,” he says.
