Dry hot summer drives early milo harvest in area
The continued dry spell accelerates milo cutting with producers like Carolyn Wulfkuhle racing to finish. Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service notes 83 percent color change this week versus 58 last year, and a five year average of 51 percent. Farms report lower yields and higher costs due to heat, while quality remains solid at Lawrence elevators. Milo price sits near 1.29 per bushel as yield data will be released next week by KSAS.

Commission files trade complaint against Canada
North Dakota Wheat Commission plans to file a trade complaint against Canada within a week. The commission accuses the Canadian Wheat Board of selling wheat below production cost in the US and overseas to gain market share, while using multiple payments to farmers instead of a lump sum at delivery. Neal Fisher says Canada distorts international wheat markets and must be addressed now, not later.
