What Might Be State's Largest Wheat Harvest Is All But Over
The 1952 Kansas wheat harvest, possibly the state's largest, is nearly finished except in a few far northwestern and northeastern counties. Light rains slowed the last fields but overall progress was good. Some fields show shriveled grain from heat. test weights are lower in the north while protein is higher. Lack of rain delayed plowing of wheat though corn damage occurs in many areas. Soybeans advance despite dry conditions and are in favorable shape.
