Wheat crop in Cheyenne County shows delayed harvest
County Agent Ivan Liljegren reports warm spells aid wheat filling but harvest remains late with some fields still in the milk stage. Rust risk has lowered though hail remains a major threat. 20-30 percent of acres damaged by hail, freeze, mosaic, or root rot, while about 70 percent hold strong potential for good yields, possibly over 30 bushels in prime fields. Harvest may not start until July 20 and peak by late July.
