Wheat Harvest Continues

 

The Kansas wheat harvest is officially 28 percent complete.

 

That's according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, which also notes that harvest across Oklahoma is 83 percent complete.

 

In Montgomery County, local farmer Jesse Muller tells the Kansas Wheat Commission he's got a better crop this year. Muller reports yields are averaging 40 to 70 bushels per acre with test weights averaging 62 pounds per bushel. Muller notes his neighbors have had some loss from freeze damage and harvest delays and damage from storms earlier this month. Added moisture is also causing more problems with weeds. He says compared with last year, though, most are seeing better-than-expected yields with steady quality.
