<\/p>\n<\/a>Grains<\/u> –
\nWe\u2019ve obviously got cold temps ahead in the Plains this weekend but yesterday morning\u2019s lows were also cold and K-State issued a report yesterday noting that this certainly had the potential to harm wheat.\u00a0 The report specifically noted portions of southwest, central, and north-central KS were vulnerable to the cold temps.\u00a0 The report labeled 27 counties at \u201chigh risk\u201d of freeze injury.\u00a0 Of course while this wide area is labeled as such, they note \u201cactual freeze damage potential will be field specific and depend on several micro-climate factors.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m including several of the graphics from their report this morning.\u00a0 What I think it is important to note is that if this week\u2019s cold temps caused \u201chigh risk\u201d to 27 counties, what might happen on Sunday morning when temps are expected to be even colder?\u00a0 I suppose the good news for KS is that the coldest temps should stay in western areas where the crop is less advanced.\u00a0 However, the TX Panhandle does look to be particularly vulnerable if the forecast verifies.<\/p>\n
