Kansas Farmers Wrapping Up Corn, Soybean Harvests

(AP) – Kansas farmers are moving closer to completing the fall harvest.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reports in its weekly update Monday that growers are wrapping up the harvest of corn and soybeans and shifting their attention to the remaining crops.

Planting of next year’s winter wheat crop is nearly complete. About 87% of the crop has now emerged.

Wheat condition is reported as 5% excellent, 40% good, 43% fair, 9% poor and 3% very poor.

Hay and forage supplies are reported as short to very short in 57% of Kansas. Availability of stock is also a concern, with supplies reported short to very short in 52% of the state.
