> Oklahoma Panhandle producer J.B. Stewart has not planted grain sorghum yet and is considering a prevented-planting option because the Cimarron County fields have had almost no rain since October. He reports his wheat yields were appraised at zero to one bushel per acre. Producers in the area face a possible repeat of the 2011 drought.
