Abstract: Sowing between mid May and early June produced the highest grain yield. For plantings after early June, yields declined by approximately 250 kg/ha (15 percent) per week. Delayed sowing caused a decrease in dry matter and kernel number. Time of sowing did not influence grain protein or the amount of screenings. Hectolitre weight increased when sowing was delayed. At early times of sowing the medium - long season cultivars had higher yields than short season cultivars. The short season cultivars were
