Kansas Wheat Alliance CEO Bryson Haverkamp says harvest conditions vary across the state. “Yields have been all over the board, some down in the teens, while others are in the 70–to-80-bushel range.” The largest number of abandoned acres are in southern Kansas where conditions are still dry. “The southern part of the state got hit hardest by the drought with lots of wheat that just didn’t get harvested. Northern Kansas also has some abandonment, but the biggest thing right now is the hail and nasty storms they’re receiving.”
