Many decisions go into planting wheat and there are numerous checklists to remind us what we need to do to grow a high yielding crop.  Regardless of commodity prices, yield is what makes us profitable every year.  Variety selection, maturity dates, seed treatments, and insect and disease management are all important decisions, but probably the most important decision is managing nitrogen applications.
