Wheat harvest in Douglas County praised for quality
About 99 percent of the Douglas County wheat harvest was in grain elevators today with humidity slowing the rest. Paul Gabriel of the Farmer's Co op noted top county quality but a small harvest, under 200000 bushels, far below last year. EBEN FARLEY said upland harvests began as drainage improves but drying is hampered by humidity. Other crops show a bright outlook, with corn soybeans milo and replanted fields recovering from spring hail.
