Field Advisor Webinar: Optimizing the Wheat Side of the Double-Crop Equation

November 30 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

November 30, 2026
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

In Illinois, double-cropping soybeans after wheat can add real profit to a farm, but only if the soybeans get planted early enough. In this webinar, we’ll look at the economics of double-cropping and why harvesting wheat early is so important for profitability of the system. You’ll learn how to recognize when your wheat is mature and ready to harvest. We’ll also look at how wheat varieties differ in maturity and other traits, what makes a variety “double-crop ready,” and how to use our free online Wheat Variety Browser to find the right one for your farm.

Featuring University of Illinois researcher and Professor, Dr. Jessica Rutkoski.
