After months of waiting Mother Nature has blessed Western Kansas with good rain. Since wheat was planted in September and October, very little moisture had fallen. In January, there was a rain/ice storm that brought about 1″ of rain. Finally now on the last week of March most of the area has received over 2.5″ of rain spread out over multiple days. This is just what we needed!!
In most cases, the wheat crop will benefit greatly from this rain. It should also replenish the top foot of soil moisture which sets everything up for corn and milo planting this Spring. Praise God!!
