Ontario cereals specialist Joanna Follings said winter wheat had
a rough start last fall.
Some of the 925,000 acres were planted too late to germinate and
emerge before winter set in.
A delayed soybean harvest set back plantings, and wet fall conditions
resulted in a significant amount of winter wheat seeded from mid to late
October, she said.
While many parts of the province received adequate snowfall,
freeze-thaw events caused ice cover concerns in some regions.
