USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service reports Kansas wheat harvest is moving along quickly, with 58% of the crop harvested as of June 21. That's well ahead of last year's 18% and the five-year average of 26%. Statewide, 94% of the wheat crop is now mature.

In Southeast Kansas, wheat is 95% mature and 52% harvested, putting the region close to the statewide pace. Farmers continue to make steady progress as harvest moves across the area.

While harvest is advancing rapidly, wheat conditions remain tough across much of Kansas. USDA rates 55% of the crop as poor to very poor, with only 14% rated good. Final yields and grain quality will vary depending on growing conditions and rainfall received throughout the season.
