[QUOTE="Weaver, post: 31985, member: 410"] We have fed it in the past, with fairly good results. We like to cut it just before it heads out. Once it heads out, it loses feed value, but on the other hand you can get a little more tonage if you let it head out, so either way has benefits and drawbacks. We plant at 120 pounds an acre and chop/cut usually about the first week or two of May.Wheat doesn't like to get its feet wet, so if water stands in the field, wheat might not be the best option, and even if it doesn't stand in the field, you need to be able to get in the field in the spring without too much trouble. After that said, wheat is a cheap forage to grow and even cheaper if you get to use the land for free. [/QUOTE]
