Crop scouts saw mostly headed wheat -- a
rarity on the first day of the Wheat
Quality Council's Hard Red Winter Wheat
Tour -- that's about five to six weeks
away from harvest, reports DTN.
Scouts pegged the average yield estimate
on the first day of scouting at 53.6
bu/acre, beating the 48.9 bu/acre crop
in 2005. More than 100 millers, grain
traders, flour buyers, farmers and
reporters fanned out along six routes
across northern Kansas from Manhattan to
Colby, on Tuesday. They made 280 stops.
