Wheat in Ontario Rotations Increases Row Crop Yields and Profits

Abstract

Producers may hesitate to add wheat to corn–soybean rotations because of wheat’s comparatively lower net returns. But a well‐managed wheat crop potentially increases returns from rotated row crop systems, mainly because of corn and soybean yield boosts after wheat, according to new research in Agronomy Journal. The study analyzed yield and return impacts of wheat in rotations at Elora and Ridgetown, ON, Canada and underscores the importance of analyzing returns from the entire crop rotation cycle.
