Kansas winter wheat harvest getting slow start
In south central Kansas the winter wheat harvest begins slowly as drought affects yields around Kiowa. OK Co-op manager Steve Inslee expects about 1 million bushels this season, far below last year's crop, while NASS revises statewide forecasts to 307.8 million, down 21 percent year over year, with wide regional variation and lingering drought. Kansas Wheat notes limited activity beyond Kiowa.
