Re: Question regarding rain in the southern Plains
The truth is all the rain we've had here right at harvest time in Oklahoma is hurting the quality of the wheat tremendously. Not complaining about the rain but what wheat we will have to harvest will not be what it would have been. The rain isn't adding any bushels to the Oklahoma crop and I doubt it's adding much to the Kansas crop since it was near harvest as well. Getting 7" of rain right at harvest time is taking away test weight and reducing bushels.
It is a problem.

Re: Question regarding rain in the southern Plains
Tw I agree,
I would say the dividing line of benefit vs: damage is somewhere north of I-70 now. The northern counties of Kansas.
Sw ks there are little sucker heads at 3 inches that will be mush at harvest or if we wait to for the suckers to finish the original heads will be on the ground. Neither are good and the total of the two won't make the area average 8 bu per acre.
