Panhandle farmers fear sub freezing temperatures may nip winter wheat, with Mr. Sidney and Chadron reporting lows around 24 and 22 degrees. Despite fears, harvest loss hinges on future conditions, as snow may shield subsurface damage and wheat often recovers. Agriculture predicts 75.4 million bushels from 4.134 million acres, 19 bushels per acre, below ten year averages. Rye output forecast at 252 thousand acres yielding 2.77 million bushels. Cooler trends expected northwest, warmer in east, with Winnipeg reporting 15 above as a gauge of comfort.
