1954 Outlook for Wheat Unchanged in Last Week
There has been little change in the outlook for the 1954 Kansas wheat crop during the last week. Light to moderate dust occurred on some fields but no further significant damage. Western wind damaged areas show generally satisfactory development where not severely damaged, but more moisture is urgently needed. Cooler weather slowed growth and mosaic symptoms appeared in some northern counties. A sharp March 3 morning temperature drop raised concerns for weakened wheat.
