Wheat crop in Kansas stunted by drought and heat
Drought and high temperatures push Kansas wheat behind normal growth. Stands are 10 to 12 inches tall versus 22 to 26, with state production estimated near 260 million bushels versus 319 million last year. Garden City yields could fall to 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Farmers warn profits and viability suffer as temperatures rise into the mid 90s and moisture remains scarce.
