Some of the winter wheat in northwest Kansas has not emerged, and some may have been lost to winter kill.
Great Plains wheat looks tough, per a senior grains and oilseeds analyst with Rabobank. Some has been blown out of the ground and hasn't tillered well. The crop could face challenges similar to last year.
