The dry weather pattern across Kansas is
helping farmers bring in the fall harvest, but the recently planted
winter wheat crop needs moisture.
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that
about 25 percent of the winter wheat was rated in poor to very poor
condition. The rest was rated as 3 percent excellent, 32 percent
good and 40 percent fair.
The agency also reported that only a few fields of corn, 9
percent of the sorghum crop and 5 percent of the soybean crop are
left unharvested.
