~ THE WHEAT LADY ~
Uploaded: May 27, 2010
For the past week, we have been busy in the fields...the finishing soybean planting and walking the wheat fields pulling rye. It is also called feral rye, also known as volunteer rye. It is a winter annual grass weed that reduces wheat yield, grain quality and grade. We get docked at our co-op for having rye in our wheat, so, it's best to pull it before it makes seed. At times it can even be rejected at the elevator as millers and bakers do not want rye seed in with wheat seed. We also save some back for the next crop planting. If there is rye seed in the seed that is saved...it will be in your next crop of wheat. Something we don't want...While walking the fields one afternoon, camera with me, I spotted this lady bug upon a head of green wheat. I noticed when editing this image that she only had 2 spots on her...kind of hard to see here as I wanted to include the entire wheat head.
I guess being a wheat farmers wife, I too, am a Wheat Lady!
