Kansas Wheat Harvest Slows on Rain

Rain in Kansas has slowed down the wheat harvest, as just after it got started things had to be temporarily shut down.

Estimates are farmers will have to wait until the weekend before resuming harvest, which was very spotty across the state.

The largest amount of wheat harvest I heard of was in the Kiowa area, which was able to complete 232,000 bushels last weekend before the rains came.

About 12,000 bushels were completed near Arkansas City before several inches of rain shut that down as well.
