Kimball County Wheat Crop Seen Strong This Year
According to observers and grain dealers, Kimball County will yield about two million bushels of wheat with an additional one million marketed in Kimball, Bushnell, and Dix from Banner County’s southern half. Omaha grain men estimate one eighth of Nebraska’s wheat comes from Kimball Cheyenne and Devel counties. The trio’s counties, 93 in total, would average just over three percent yet provide over twelve percent of the state crop, and adding Banner County pushes the share to over fifteen percent.
