Kansas is known as “the Wheat State”; but, this year’s winter wheat crop is in need of more than a little help.

Marsha Boswell of the Kansas Wheat Commission explains:
Wheat farmers are really feeling the cost crunch and many are putting off what would be normal top dressing applications and waiting and hoping for moisture soon.
