Successful production requires early seeding, usually into a dry seed bed. Seeding date and seeding depth effects were investigated under three very contrasting weather scenarios. Risk in dry years on the Canadian prairies was reduced when winter wheat was seeded shallow (<25 mm) and early (beginning of September).
