Eastern Washington | We farm dryland wheat in a summer fallow (no till) rotation in Eastern WA, in a 5-8" annual rainfall range. We are firm believers in having as much straw as possible standing to catch snow, harvest freezing fog and just shade the ground through our hot desert summers. Is there anyone out there that is seeding in between rows of standing stubble from a previous years crop? What are your thoughts on it? We farm fairly level ground where equipment doesn't slide around to much except the occasional draw or hillside. With that said we are hoping to upgrade to an implement antenna on our Great Plains Drill and that will allow us to track straight enough.....If not we would upgrade signal from RTX. I would think that with tall stubble (or stripped stubble) that having wheat seedlings in between would provide a nice little nursery to protect from cold winds when plants are small or overwintering. Just curious if anyone has or is currently doing this and their results. Thanks!
