State Needs Moisture From Topeka May 5 Crop Report
Pi Rain is needed across the state with barley and oats especially short of moisture to insure average production. Winter wheat on summer fallow grows well but cropped land and volunteer wheat risk moisture loss without near term rain. Green bugs have damaged southern barley oats and alfalfa. First alfalfa cut in south central counties underway. Corn planting progresses and sorghum prep increases. Topsoil is too dry for proper germination and rains would help pasture growth and water supplies for cattle.
