This year’s Kansas wheat crop is projected to be the highest seen since 2021!
The better-than-average projected yields come from Reuters following this year’s Spring Wheat Tour, with scouts covering more than 449 fields over three days.
Those on the tour estimate that the state’s wheat potential could reach approximately 47 bushels per acre, with a total harvest of more than 290 million bushels.
If conditions continue to fare well for the crop and those totals come to fruition, Kansas’s hard red winter wheat crop for 2024 will substantially surpass that of 2023.
That is welcome news being that this year’s crop is considered to be especially important on a global scale due to poor weather conditions threatening the world’s biggest wheat exporter— Russia.
