Eastern Nebraska winter wheat growers are invited to join a new email group, easternnewheat@listserv.unl.edu, where they can correspond with and learn from each other while getting timely news for their operation.

By subscribing, growers have the opportunity to correspond with other farmers, extension educators, extension specialists, private industry representatives, and others with interest, knowledge, and experience in managing winter wheat in our eastern Nebraska environment.

This is part of the Winter Wheat Works Initiative, a local Nebraska Extension effort to encourage and support growers in eastern Nebraska to move from a strict corn-soybean rotation to a successful flex-rotation where some winter wheat acres are considered each year and strategically integrated into their cropping system.

In addition, I will be sending out a weekly email that highlights resources that are timely and relevant to growing winter wheat in eastern Nebraska. The subject line in the email will be “What’s Up This Wheat?” and will cover five main areas:

• weather,
• media highlights,
• economics,
• agronomics, and
• tips.

How to Subscribe

Send an email message to LISTSERV@UNL.EDU and in the message field type:

Do not put anything in the subject line and do not include a signature block as the listserv will try to interpret each line as a command. You can also email Nathan Mueller at nathan.mueller@unl.edu and he will add you. To view previous winter wheat emails go to http://croptechcafe.org.
