Kansas Wheat Harvest: Good Stats, Tough Realities | Wichita News

Kansas wheat harvest is moving ahead despite wild weather swings—72% of the crop is now in the bin, ahead of the typical 52% pace. But behind the stats, farmers are split: some like Nicole Small in Wilson County wrapped up weeks early, while others in Sherman County barely started due to rain. Small’s crop suffered from drought and river flooding, which damaged maturation and lowered yields.
