Name: Hans RSubject: Notill rotations
Email: bigdad@utma.com
This is my second year of winter wheat production in NE ND. Will my rotation be too close if I plant winter wheat then flax and than canola and then winter wheat again. My reason for this rotation is the wheat stubble here catches too much snow and has too much trash to warm up the ground in spring.The flax and canola stubble has much less but still will catch enough snow too protect the wheat. Planting Round up Ready canola should help keep the field clean enough for this type of rotation or will it?

Two years out of winter wheat with no other cereals should be a pretty good rotation. Canola is especially good in the rotation to help clear up diseases, grassy weeds and open up the soil.
