Wet Weather Delays Wheat Field Action
Heavy rains and high humidity across the Sidney trade area delay wheat harvests in Cheyenne and Logan counties. Elevators report moist grain around 13.5 percent moisture, with little incoming wheat from lowlands and tableland, while yields in eastern Colorado and western Kansas look strong despite narration of grasshopper risk and ongoing spraying needs. Government crop projections for Nebraska foresee a record crop possible but weather could dampen final results, with prior peak figures and current per-acre estimates noted.
