Wheat harvest in Southwest Kansas hampered by May freeze
The May frost hit Southwest Kansas wheat hard with many fields yielding 12 to 16 bushels per acre and moisture between 12 and 19 percent. Elevators report slow cutting as farmers test moisture and test weights while hopeful for end of week warmth to boost activity. Local agents note some areas fared better, with 58 to 63 pound test weights and crops in Garden City and Ulysses showing mixed results.
