Day two of the Wheat Quality Council's tour of the Hard Red Winter Wheat belt across the southern plains has concluded. The average of all of the stops made by the six routes for day two was 37.1 bushels per acre- down from 43.7 bushels per acre across the same country one year ago. Two years ago in 2011- these same routes showed an average of just 33.4 bushels per acre.
There were a total of 264 stops that were made by the groups checking the fields.
Debbie Wedel of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission traveled a southern route- heading south out of Colby, Kansas and rolling across the northern tier of Oklahoma counties from Buffalo to Blackwell before going north for the report session last night in Wichita, Kansas.
