Soil Temps Not Impacting Winter Wheat

The lack of snow hasn't really impacted this year's winter wheat crop.
 
Doug Martin is with the Manitoba Crop Alliance.
 
"Manitoba Agriculture has temperature probes in some winter wheat fields throughout the province," he said. "Sunday night it got fairly cold. The soil temperature dipped to about minus 7. So if you look at what will kill winter wheat, the soil temperature has to get to about minus 20 or 21. So far we're in good shape.'
 
Martin says there were reports of uneven germination due to the dry conditions earlier this fall.
 
He's hoping to see more snow cover for the crop in the coming days and weeks.
