Wheat Heading, Still Needs Rain in Cheyenne County
Cheyenne County wheat heads are expected next week with southern sections more advanced than the north. ASCS director Lawrence Thompson says overall about one week ahead of normal due to warm February, but dry conditions threaten yield, projected below last year’s average. Ken Sakurada notes possible nutrient deficiencies in discolored wheat. Millet may see a larger crop this year while corn faced variable moisture. Weather records show May rainfall near 0.38 inches FAA and HPAL readings, with May temperatures 32 to 76.
