Harvest News Brightens Kansas Wheat Harvest Outlook
Fair skies and warm weather boosted the Kansas wheat harvest as combines move north from Oklahoma. Jim Jay reports 268 combines available, with no elevator space shortage but spotty fuel worries in Sumner County. Harvesting spans from Wichita to Liberal as moisture declines. 1973 crop expected to top a record 374 million bushels, with yield rising 19 percent over last year. Stocks of combines and fuel remain tight, yet no harvest stoppages noted.
