State corn yield estimate called too high says cattleman
Daniel Amal of Bros cattle firm in Wabaunsee and Jackson counties disputes the Kansas state board of agriculture's forecast of 185 million bushels of corn this year. He argues hot weather and recent drought will reduce yield and quality, rendering much of the crop worthless for fodder and home feeding. He maintains 100 million bushels would be a successful outcome given current conditions.
