Winter Wheat Conditions after Late-December Snow

Fig 2. 16-01 Wheat Crown Depth

Fig. 2. Wheat growing point at the base of the crown is about 1” below the soil surface (represented by top of orange stake, which is 1” wide). Notice the white portion of lower stems, which were below ground. This depth of growing point protects wheat from permanent injury. Continued growth of these plants will be normal.
