Warm Weekend Weather Aids Wheat Harvest
A warm weekend with temperatures under 90 degrees aided pre harvest, as hot winds quickened ripening while increasing evapotranspiration. Surface moisture dried, prompting extra irrigation. the last rain was Friday morning delivering .03 inch.
Hail Threat Only Bar To Big Harvest
Wheat producers in this area hope to partially replenish depleted reserves with this year’s crop if the weather cooperates. Farmers can sell 1966 wheat at Cheyenne County quotes from 1.66 to 1.68 per bushel, up over 30 cents as government stocks dwindle. Many plan to sell on the open market to meet current needs and refill bins later if harvest holds up, rather than join Uncle Sam’s reserve program.
