We will stop reporting GDD for wheat  as of today. Physiological maturity as been reached in most fields in our region.  Grain fill was shortened to 32 days instead of anticipated 34. The accumulated heat in early July brought on the maturity faster.  Impact on yield remains to be seen, yield components  of number of heads and kernels per acre are unaffected by late accumulation of heat,  but kernel mass is most affected.  

 

Harvest has started in Essex County and is advancing slowly east into Chatham and Ridgetown areas. Quality has been good, Falling Numbers range from 380 to 405.
