Winter wheat crop tour kicks off
The annual winter wheat crop tour organized by the Wheat Quality Council kicks off on Monday and will wind its way across Kansas, wrapping up on Thursday, when participants come up with estimates of the state's crop and average yield.
More of North Dakota's 2009 spring wheat crop is now in the bin than in the field, but harvest remains two to three weeks behind schedule in this year of a floody, late spring and cool summer.
