Kansas Crops Report Highlights Strong Growth Prospects
The Kansas board of agriculture notes 1,815,828 fall sown wheat acres, up 17,209 from last year, with 8 percent winter loss and general crop vitality near average. Cattle are generally sound, hogs thin with few pigs expected, grasses hurt by drought but early markers like timothy and alfalfa show promise, fruits healthy except peaches, season two weeks late but soils well soaked by March rains, yielding farmer optimism for spring crops.
