Rainfall Helps Kaw Valley Crops But More Needed
Weekend rainfall totaled .34 inch per C J Posey volunteer weather observer, bringing April total to 1.51 inches, about 2 inches below normal. Upland farms welcomed moisture but crops like corn and grain sorghum are not yet planted in full, with May first half likely to see most planting. Early truck crops such as peas and spinach benefited, ground moisture should cover spinach through harvest, potatoes slow to emerge will improve, while wheat oats and other grains need more rain to protect yields.
