Kansas Wheat Production Deteriorating Due to Drought
USA Severe // Drought
Report says that January’s limited moisture across most of Kansas has caused the winter wheat crop to deteriorate. The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 39 percent of the crop was already in poor to very poor condition. The lack of significant rainfall has also affected livestock producers. Stock water supplies are short to very short across 78 percent of Kansas. Stock ponds are low or dried out. The agency also reports that 85 percent of Kansas pastures are in poor to very poor shape. ubAlert
