Wheat rust reports downplayed by agriculture department
The department said widespread wheat rust damage is unlikely. Stem rust and leaf rust are common in Oklahoma Kansas Missouri and Nebraska, with only slight damage expected to winter wheat as it nears maturity. Some infection noted in Missouri valley soft winter wheats. Nebraska slightly later with more rust anticipated.
