Saturday's heavy rains

Hi guys, I realize this isn't a tractor question and it is a long one, but you guys have always been helpful. I am a young farmer getting started. This is my first time growing wheat. I farm west of the twin cities, MN. This weekend we received 5 plus inches of rain to give you a basis of my questions. I finally got my RB07 Spring wheat planted this past Wednesday May 18th. I was able to spread the fertilizer about 3 weeks prior and incorporated it by harrowing in. The field wasn't quite ready to work, so that was our only choice. This was in a moldboard plowed field so we got decent soil coverage of the fertilizer. The field is a mix of heavy and light soils, but mostly heavy and hilly. I planted the field at a rate of about 2 bushels to the acre. Saturday we absolutely got a gully washer and washed out decent portions of the field. There is seed and sediment all over on the lower portions of the field. I will be definitely adding more waterways. My questions pertain on what to do.
How much fertilizer could possibly be left?

Can I replant the washed out portions of the field and expect any yield?

Do I need to replant the entire field?

Do you think I need to re-fertilize the field? If so in what way? If I am not going to replant the entire field I wouldn't be able to incorporate the fertilizer in the all ready planted portions. Can I apply a foliar fertilizer later on? Can this be done at the same time I apply Huskie herbicide and the fungicide? Would this foliar fertilizer be enough to carry the crop?

I appreciate any and all help you can advise. I am worried about not having high enough protein content and being turned away from the elevator this fall. Is this a likely scenario?
Thanks again for any help you can give. I am learning. I expect hail or wind damage. I never thought I wouldn't even see the seed germinate.
Thanks for your advice.

If I were you I would plant beans where it flooded out. We are getting too late in the season to plant wheat.

What do your neighbors say they live there and know all about the unusual conditions.

I should have mentioned I also live west of the twin cities near Marshall and Granite Falls. What towns are you near?
With you getting 5 inches of rain and being it is May 23 I would forget wheat this season. Soybeans are at a good price and will net you more then a late planted wheat crop.
Normally late planted wheat will end up low protein, low test weight, and lots of grass and weed pressure.

I am west of Rockford. Last year's crop was soybeans, so I am a little nervous to go with soybeans. Plus parts of the field look like they made it fine. Just a tough year.

Past April 15th you start losing yield on wheat here in this part of MN.

So, what isgrowing & looks ok is going to be your wheat crop, no point ripping it up, and no point trying to replant any the end of May. What you got you got.

The P & K fert is there - it just got moved around some. The N could be lost, but you already have a lower yield so no matter. Probably not pay to worry about it.

If the washouts or drownouts are a 1/2 acre or more in size, put beans in piecemeal. All you can do to get a crop any more this year.

Contrary to popular belief, beans on beans works pretty good around these parts. Will be no problem.

Can still plant corn for a week or 2 yet & hope for good results, but does not fit your situation at all.

I'm by New Ulm. Was up by Hutch on Saturday, that was sad to see that kind of rain come down with it being too wet already. We had/have it a little soggy. You folks have had it miserable.

Anyhow, work up the patches when you can get in and put in beans. Don't worry about the fert too much - you are not going to get record yields on anything, so don't need to fertilize for top yield this time around....

Start planning for next year.

Can you recommend a shorter day round-up ready soybean for central Minnesota?
