Rain slows down wheat harvest

Body Moisture is likely too late to be of much help The Kansas wheat harvest got off to a slow start last week, and has been further delayed by rains that have come too late to help. If anything, the latest rain creates more problems by keeping farmers out of their fields.
Combines sit idle in a field north of Conway Springs last week. A few farmers started cutting as early as June 7, and more began to get into their fields last week. Recent rain has further delayed some farmers, while other fields are still green. The rain likely will do little to benefit the 2023 wheat crop, but should help out fall crops that already have been planted. Travis Mounts/TSnews
