Late crops report and moisture in Kansas
Warm dry conditions aid late corn and grain sorghums while soil moisture runs short across much of Kansas. About four percent of corn and 75 percent of sorghum have matured. some interplanted sorghum in southwest and west central Kansas may mature without frost though yields look only fair.
