NW Washington
The soybeans are going to provide some N for your wheat.
I can remember reading some research done on wheat fertilization in Virginia years ago and they concluded that a lot of fall N resulted in more straw and the same seed yield as spring top dressed wheat.
So my guess would be to put on your P,K and whatever else you need and a little N on it the fall and then hit it again early in the spring. This also limits leaching and denitrification losses of N if you have a wet winter.
Two bushels to the acre seems like more than enough seed.
Getting the bean residue chopped and spread so the drill can get the seed into the ground may be an issue, but wheat is easy to plant. Even combines can do it.
