Wet spring leaves area's farmers worried
Farmers in western Kansas face anxious harvest prospects as excessive spring rain has damaged wheat yields and delayed fall planting. Rain surpassed normal by about 10 inches in Ottawa, delaying field work and lifting disease risk like root rot. Farmers report variable test weights and yields, with early wheat loads arriving in late June but overall quality uneven and prices down.
