Heat aids corn and sorghum in Kansas crops
The unseasonably warm dry weather has sped corn and sorghum maturing across Kansas. Husking of the best corn in several years is under way, even in northern counties, with sorghums harvested for grain and forage. Early alfalfa and grasses show good stands while later feedings need rain. State feed production is rising and stockmen seek additional livestock to feed or carry through winter as pastures stay usable for fall grazing and wheat pasture is expected.
