Nearly 50% of the wheat produced in the U.S. is exported. Wheat can be double cropped with soybeans as it is harvested early enough in the growing season. Along with wheat flour, wheat is used in starch, malt, dextrose, gluten, and alcohol. #wiuaglife@WIUAg
Strip-till is a form of minimal tillage that farmers are using to protect the soil. The only soil that is disturbed is where the crop will be planted. The farmer gets the benefits of no till, while still being able to prepare a seedbed. #wiuaglife@WIUAg

As the ag technology treadmill keeps moving forward, inventions such as self driving tractors will be more common. Autonomous tractors have been in development since precision ag started in the 80’s. The tractors have similar sensors to self driving cars. #wiuaglife@WIUAg
