Mother Nature Will Decide the Success (and Failure) of Kansas Crops

As you would expect, Mother Nature will play a big part into the success of Kansas crops in 2026.

It's too late for the latest round of rain to help the wheat crop, but it does come at a good time for fall crops according to Craig Dinkel from the Midway Extension District of Russell and Ellsworth counties.

Dinkel gives an update on the wheat crop.

Wheat harvest is underway along with Kansas - Oklahoma border and was expected to begin within the next 7 to 10 days in central Kansas. But recent rain has slowed down the maturing of wheat.

Despite the challenges facing the wheat harvest, Dinkel is optimistic about the fall crops.
