# #Harvest26: Summer Heat Cut Yields in Kansas, Now Heavy Rain Stalls Harvest

> Heavy rain of three to six inches, with some areas near Dodge City reporting up to 10 inches, halted harvest in parts of Kansas after a summer of drought and extreme heat. Before the rain, about 60% of corn and 20% of soybeans were harvested in one local area, and wheat was 40% to 50% planted. Higher diesel costs were also cited as added pressure on farmers.

## Why it matters

Harvest delays and reduced summer yields in Kansas tighten local supply, and the moisture improves subsoil conditions for wheat. The effect on national prices is modest.
