Kansas farmers have harvested a little over 90 percent of their wheat crop this year. Kansas Wheat’s Marketing Director Aaron Harries says USDA is projecting they’ll have 235 million bushels once it’s all done which is not a very good crop.
Harries says while the wheat started out good a long and dry growing season with little or no rain really hurt it.
Harries says protein levels are between 13 and 14 with test weights in the upper 50s. He says the best wheat is in the northwest part of the state. Harries is hoping the rain they’ve been getting lately will help them when they start planting next year’s crop in September.
