Winter Wheat Harvest Moving Faster through Kansas

Winter wheat harvest has picked up notably in recent days amid drier weather, according to harvest reports from the Kansas Wheat Commission, the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers and the Kansas Grain and Feed Association. Pro Farmer’s First Thing Today reports the drier field conditions of late have also improved the moisture levels of the crop, speeding along the harvest. There is some rain in the near-term forecast for the state, however. Pro Farmer says yields have remained impressive as harvest progresses, with fairly regular reports of test weights topping 60 pounds.
