Kansas wheat farmers have been facing a challenging wheat harvest due to persistent rains on mature wheat.

 

That's the word from the Kansas Wheat Commission. While test weights have suffered because of rain, the 2025 crop has shown stronger yields than the past three drought-stricken years.

 

Officially, the Kansas wheat harvest is 82 percent complete, behind 90 percent complete last year but ahead of the 77 percent average, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service crop progress report for the week ending July 6, 2025.
