Winter wheat planting reaches 90% in USDA crop district that includes Ellis County

As of Nov. 1, farmers in the USDA's Central Kansas crop reporting district had planted 90% of their winter wheat, ahead of the statewide 86%.

Statewide, sorghum and soybean harvests lagged their five-year averages while corn harvest was near average.

WHY IT MATTERS

Steady planting and near-average crop progress suggest no immediate supply shock for Kansas hard red wheat or feed grains, so the price impact is minimal. Lagging sorghum and soybean harvests are a small negative for feed sorghum availability.
