Southeast Kansas Leads State in Winter Wheat Condition

 

Southeast Kansas is leading the state in condition and percentage of winter wheat emerged. K-State Extension Crop Agent James Coover says that's not always the case historically.

 

Coover says the area has seen near-ideal rainfall recently for winter wheat production, and the forecast looks like it may cooperate as the crop enters dormancy.

 

According to the latest USDA report, southeast Kansas leads the state at 93 percent of winter wheat emerged. Winter wheat conditions across the state are listed at 18% very poor, 24% poor, 36% fair, 20% good and 2% excellent.
