Met with the red route of the Wheat Quality Tour #wheattour25 this A.M . My son got to put on "his" extension agent hat and show his 4-H wheat plot. The low light of this plot is the confirmed Wheat Streak Mosaic that showed up at flagleaf emergence. #4HGrowsHere #CKD4H #KS4H

What you will find at our plot tour this Friday: a football coach, senator, shark, Bigfoot, wolverine, rockstar, warbird and many others. No fungicide was applied and it is the perfect opportunity to see varied disease resistance in our varieties.

Concerned about accurate reporting of #drought conditions in your area??? Want to be part of the solution??? Submit a #drought condition report and make it a weekly ritual this growing season!!! Link to report your observations here: survey123.arcgis.com/share/850f937a…

@SWKSAgronomy @Midwaycrops @scampbel_stacy We have been going backward for some time now. In February, we were excited about the potential, and now it feels eerily similar to last season. Light rain showers are not making up for months of no rain.

A lot of fair condition ratings have likely shifted to poor to very poor since this poll, especially in central Kansas. #KansasWheat needs rain!! How would you describe the wheat condition in your districts right now? @Midwaycrops @scampbel_stacy @CentralKsCrops

Same kid, same field. An amazing 1.5 inches of rain and the cracks in the soil can still be found; before and after pics. No runoff, and the majority of our area was not as fortunate. It is critical in wheat country.

Low levels of stripe rust have now been reported in Sumner Co, Kansas. Thanks to @SGAgAgent for the scouting efforts. You can track real-time reports of this disease in the region here: wheat.agpestmonitor.org/stripe-rust/

@wx_chip It is showing a net loss of over one million acres planted. So more fallow?

This surprises me. With the current outlooks favoring dry conditions - I would've expected sorghum to be up. #kswx #ksag

The Soil Health Field Day scheduled for April 5, 2024 at Knopf Farms has been cancelled. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope you can join us at the next field day.  @kansaswheat
