In northeastern and east central Colorado counties, wheat conditions and growth rate vary greatly due to continued winds and lack of moisture. Counties continued to experience strong winds throughout the week, with the northeastern corner of the state experiencing gusts above 50 miles per hour. Kiowa County Press (Eads, Colo.), May 17, 2022 Strong winds in northeastern and east central Colorado continued to worsen winter wheat and rangeland conditions, as well as delay planting of other crops. No moisture is visible in the top few inches of many fields. Kiowa County Press (Eads, Colo.), April 26, 2022
