> Pioneer agronomist Garrett Kennedy says late-season heat, including 14 consecutive days above 95 degrees, reduced grain fill in north central Kansas, where he covers 14 counties. He expects yields below last year's top end but reports exceptionally high pod and node counts and better-than-expected early harvest results.
