Kansas Wheat Crop Outlook Promises Largest U.S. Yield
An United Press survey shows Kansas may harvest 135,000,000 to 150,000,000 bushels of winter wheat, the nation's top share of the midwest crop, with weather improving across Oklahoma, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, and Texas. Despite losses in southwest Kansas, rains and subsoil moisture revive much of the crop, and insect damage remains limited. Government and private estimates project a bumper national winter wheat yield, with Kansas contributing heavily to a record national output.

He noted heavy rains have a mechanical killing effect, but not enough to prevent damage.
