Kansas Crop Report Forecasts Mixed Prospects for 1895

Corn acreage rises about 15 to 20 percent, spring wheat down, oats up, and sorghums gaining as a forage option. Fruit prospects look bright for apples peaches and cherries, while recent rains may boost general yields across crops already weakened by prior conditions.
