WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas farmers have now cut all but 20
percent of the state's winter wheat crop, with most of the fields left
to be harvested located in western Kansas.
Kansas Agricultural
Statistics Service reported Monday in its weekly update that the harvest
was more than two weeks ahead of last year. Usually just 7 percent of
the Kansas crop is cut by this time in the year. Northwest Kansas
had cut only a quarter of its wheat acreage as of Sunday, but wheat
harvest across most of the state was better than 90 percent finished. Meanwhile, the agency reported corn condition declining slightly. About 14 percent of the crop now rated as poor to very poor, 41 percent fair, 41 percent good and 4 percent excellent. |
