TOPEKA — The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service said the Kansas wheat crop is five percent smaller than last year. The agency said the recent damp weather will slow crop growth and delay the wheat harvest. However, the agency forecasts that yields should be the highest in seven years. However, the agency said the number of wheat acres in east central Kansas is sharply lower and the yields will likely be lower as well.
