Southeast Kansas enjoys near record yields with corn at 100–140 bushels per acre and sorghum and soybeans up 30–40 percent, while northwest Kansas reels from a late September freeze causing severe sorghum and milo damage. Northeast and southwest regions face variable outcomes though corn remains strongest in irrigated districts, and a 1990 wheat crop is already in the ground statewide.
