Report: 20% Of Kansas Wheat Now Harvested

The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service is reporting that 20% of the state’s winter wheat crop had been harvested as of Sunday.

The agency said Monday that southeast Kansas is farthest along, with half of its wheat now in the bin. Farmers in south-central Kansas have cut 44% of their crop.

About 62% of the wheat crop has now matured, compared with an average of only 2% at this point in the season. Just 4% of the wheat has not yet turned color.

The new report says 24% of the wheat is rated poor to very poor. About 36% is rated fair, with 32% rated good and 8% excellent.
