Wheat Harvest Delayed by Panhandle Rains and Frosted Returns
The 1941 Panhandle wheat harvest moved toward Amarillo but rain halted combines and binders across most of the region. George Rohan delivered the first load at Panhandle’s W B Johnston Grain Elevator testing about 50 pounds per bushel and yielding around 20 bushels per acre. Heavy showers lingered, slowing progress from Floydada to Crosbyton and threatening to trim the national crop forecast from 38 million to about 31 million bushels due to rain and rust. Adrian, Nebraska-like storms drenched the area with four inches of rain in two hours, flooding Highway 66 and temporarily blocking traffic before resuming later.
