The soybeans in south central Kansas did not produce many pods. If rain falls in the next few weeks, yields may be about 25% of normal.
Corn was harvested three weeks early by one farmer who reported yields of 50% of normal. Most area farmers have turned their corn or soybeans into cattle feed.
Rain is needed to improve soil moisture ahead of this fall’s wheat planting.
