Wheat Failure Less Likely In Western Nebraska Now
Abstract of a paper presented at the 53rd annual convention of the American Geographers notes wheat failure in western Nebraska has dropped since the 1930s drought. Causes include more summer fallow, milder weather in autumn and July, less wind damage, and better know-how and equipment. Improvements vary by area, with hail losses rising. Overall, Nebraska’s Central Great Plains show far lower failure than two decades ago.
