Wheat yield may exceed estimates in Kansas
Topeka July 9 AP Early combine yields from the Kansas wheat crop were reported beyond all expectations in the weekly crop report by the state board of agriculture and other agencies. Winter wheat prospects were put at 157,814,000 bushels, second largest in state history, with large gains due to favorable conditions. Harvest faces delays from recent heavy rains and hail, but protein content and test weights show strength. Corn and grain sorghums posted rapid growth, oats harvest neared completion, and barley progress was strong in western counties.
