Kansas Wheat Forecast Sees Record Yield Potential
WOPEKAW A forecast by federal and state agencies projects Kansas wheat production at 8 195 000 bushels for the April 1 season, about 20 000 000 more than last year. Based on a 13 bushel average yield on 11 015 000 acres, the 10 year average production is 202 869 000 bushels. The forecast assumes no benefit from possible freezes or earlier damage, with conditions rated fair to good statewide. Spring growth has begun, root growth improving, and moisture since April 1 aiding development though timely rains are needed. Wind damage has been lighter than in prior years and losses from winterkill, drought, insects, and disease are not extensive.
