Nebraska winter wheat yield outlook lowers due to weather
The department of agriculture estimates Nebraska winter wheat may yield about 74.7 million bushels this year, down from 91.7 million a month earlier, as insect pressure and harsh winter and spring weather take a toll. Cheyenne County shows mixed conditions with some fields hit hard, while hope remains for reaching five million bushels locally if favorable weather continues. Nebraska would still be the nation’s second-largest producer behind Kansas, with a potential 19 bushels per acre statewide if harvest conditions improve.
