Drought weighs on Kansas wheat as winds dry fields
Kansas wheat faces severe damage after a hot dry summer with 40 percent of the crop rated poor or very poor by the state statistics service. An early weekly update shows 12 percent poor and 88 percent fair to excellent, while some regions saw dust winds and gusts up to 82 mph.
