Rains should help Kansas wheat crop

Drenching rains across most of Kansas last week should benefit the recently-emerged winter wheat crop.

The latest crop and weather report from Kansas says this is the first week since the end of June that topsoil moisture in the state has been rated as greater than 50 percent adequate.

The Kansas wheat crop rated 42 percent fair, 40 percent good and six percent excellent as of Sunday.  Twelve percent of the crop was in poor to very poor condition.
