Winter Wheat Hopes Rise With Snow Yet Crop Stays Lagging
Snow blankets parts of Kansas bringing moisture to winter wheat but farmers warn crop still weak. Kansas State expert Jim Shroyer says more moisture is needed for root development and a strong 2003 harvest remains uncertain. KASS notes 22 percent poor to very poor, 45 percent fair, 29 percent good, 4 percent excellent with minimal freeze or wind damage. Jagger leads sowing at 45.2 percent, with Trego and hard white varieties gaining recent traction.
