Drought hurts Kansas and Oklahoma wheat harvests
The droughts in Kansas and Oklahoma shrink this year’s wheat harvest to its smallest since 1957. Farmers report dead or stunted plants. Some will destroy crops to claim insurance, sparking widespread economic pain in prairie towns. Local co ops and merchants feel the impact as grain demand and sales drop. Farmers plan for next year, hoping droughts end soon.
