Kansas farmers continue to make strong progress with this year's crops. The USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service reports winter wheat harvest is 91 percent complete statewide, well ahead of both last year and the five-year average.

In Southeast Kansas, wheat harvest is 90 percent finished, while corn is further along than much of the state, with 90 percent of the crop now silking and 30 percent reaching the dough stage. Soybeans are also developing on schedule, and most corn, soybean, and sorghum fields are rated in good to excellent condition as adequate soil moisture continues to support crop growth.
