Kansas Wheat Harvest is Slow Going

 

The latest crop report shows the Kansas winter wheat harvest is running slower than usual for this time of year.

 

About 41% of the state’s wheat has been cut which is behind both the 44% at this time last year and the 48% five-year average. The report reflects crop conditions as of Sunday and comes amid recent rains that have kept many combines out of fields.

 

It was also reported that 83% of the wheat had already matured. It rated the condition of the crop still in the ground as 12% excellent, 50% good, 25% fair, and 13% as poor or very poor.

 

Planting for soybeans and sorghum show that each are seeded at 95% and 94%, respectively. The state’s corn crop is also mostly in good shape with just 6% rated as poor or very poor.
