Wheat harvest begins with few bright spots in southwest Kansas
Drought and spring freezes have hit the winter wheat crop in southwest Kansas hard this year but some fields show promise. Farmers near Ulysses and Grant County report early cutting with test weights around 56 pounds and moisture near 8.5 percent, yielding roughly eight to ten bushels on limited dryland plots. Some fields were entirely killed by drought and freeze while forage harvests occurred in Grant County. Scott City Co-op GM Gary Friesen notes early harvest with 58- to 60-pound test weights and optimistic quality as the spread of harvest widens.
