Phil Knoeber:
On average, Dodge City will have more precip, higher humidity, and a shorter winter than at Tribune, KS, or Akron, CO. Therefore, your stripper stubble will be more likely to be flat by the following spring (more decomposition at the base of the wheat stem). The only solution I know of is cover cropping, which probably sounds ludicrous to you, but might not be as crazy as you first think.
