Kansas farmers face dire wheat harvest due to ongoing drought.
TL;DR
Kansas farmers are facing a devastating wheat harvest due to a relentless drought that has caused scorching temperatures, parched soil, and low water supplies. Experts predict a major drop in wheat production this year, with farmers expected to produce just 191.4 million bushels of wheat, the smallest since 1963. Some farmers are intentionally killing their crops since they can get more from insurance than they can from selling them. Kansas farmers are expected to abandon about 19% of acres planted last autumn.
