A Quality Kansas Winter Wheat Crop

Despite some weather delays, Kansas Wheat Growers Vice President of Communications Marsha Boswell said this year’s crop was very good. “This year’s harvest was much better than the last couple of years. We’ve seen some really good quality wheat this year,” said Boswell. “Test weights are coming in over 60 pounds and some protein pockets that are up to 13 or 14 percent protein so I think overall the protein will be a bit better than average.” There may be a slight dip in yields, especially in the areas dealing with late-season rains.
