Hard freeze in winter wheat areas.
It was 15F to 20F last night. Colder tonight.

Wheat is 10-14 days ahead of normal development. Some areas saw snow Thursday night (6") that laid the 12" wheat flat.

Gonna be an interesting Sunday night. The million dollar question is:

If the wheat is hurt bad enuff what will they plant in its place - corn or beans?

She is really cold just checked at 7:37 am its cold all way down to Oklahoma and their the winter wheat will be headed already.
Kansas about 1/3 will be headed rest jointing.

Actual lows in US.

I hope their ducks have to walk on the ice down there for a while (like ours).

What am I saying? Do I really think our wheat cheques would go higher?

Time for some more coffee.

Last night was the fourth day of freezing temps for much of Kansas, and it ain't over yet. Tonights forcast lows are projected to be the lowest yet, down into the teens (deg F). That amount of sustained cold has drained the residual heat out of the ground. If they do not sustain significant damage, I will be surprised.

This "global warming" has got to be stopped.

I went to an american chat room and a lot of them said its a disaster.

Their now talking about seeding corn.

Fertilizer might get even more interesting.
