Winter Wheat on Summerfallow:

This is not an uncommon site, winter wheat planted into summerfallow. I found this field near Reston. It will likely be alright. You can see the black dirt.

The problem is that it may not trap snow. Snow is the insulation to ensure the wheat survives the cold and overwinters. That's the theory. It will be tested in the field at some point. Actually this field is testing the theory.
