WICHITA, Kan. — The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service says the winter wheat crop is beginning to break dormancy.
In a report issued Monday, the agency says about 4 percent of the crop has broken dormancy, mostly in the southwest and south-central regions.
More than half of the wheat — about 53 percent — is in good to excellent condition. About 35 percent was rated fair, and 12 percent was rated in poor to very poor condition.
Topsoil moisture levels show 96 percent of the state with adequate to surplus moisture.
