Here's Accuweather from Salina, Kansas(mid Kansas)

Crops are later this year so not sure the development is very far along, although, I'd think they'd be out of dormancy. Won't likely hurt stooling wheat. Shot blade or bigger, look out.

Only 15F at 8:50am CDT(7:50 Sask) in Dodge City.

I think they just lost maybe 10% of their wheat crop:

Weather not affecting trade on KCBT, and nothing mentioned on Twitter. Crops can't be big enough yet, to hurt anything.

Texas and Oklahoma would be heading! Rest no!

It would decimate our crops but for some reason it seems to actually help the crops down there.

Much like when it froze in the Ukraine and their canola crop wasn't impacted.

Go figure.

As a farmer in saskatchewan if that happened in august, and it has, the outcome isn't pretty. But then again the US grades wheat differently so that frost isn't as much of an issue.

Of course,if anyone has been to a cigi course they have probably been told that frost isn't an issue in milling.

I now think 10% is too conservative.

Might want to cover wheat shorts.

DTN artical I found on Twitter about weekend freeze.

Our winter wheat can freeze while in the stooling stage and not be damaged. If the head is developing in the boot, it can be harmed. IMO

Trade To F#ckin Stupid Know, Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boarderbloke]

A lot more chatter this morning on twitter about freeze temps in hard winter wheat areas. Multiple cold nights are growing corcerns. Maybe not as much snow cover as first thought. Crop more advanced in some areas than people thought at first.
Thur. trading might be wild with report too.
