Summary
Severe weekend storms slammed Kansas wheat farmers, halting harvests just as wheat heads—already brittle from drought—began to break apart, risking volunteer wheat that could choke next year’s crops. With harvest at 58% (ahead of schedule), the damage is already mounting: fallen stalks, lost yields, and unpredictable protein levels. Even those who finished before the storm lost irrigated wheat still too green. Conditions now—cool, humid, rain-threatened—are far from ideal. No “excellent” ratings in the state; most fields are rated poor to fair. Weather’s unpredictability is proving costly, and the clock is ticking.
