The flag leaves of this Panhandle wheat are burning up, but the heads and stems are still green. A lot of wheat in the southern Panhandle looks like this and its yield prospects are greatly diminished as a result of the loss of the flag leaf, which is critical to grain development. See more about Nebraska's wheat crop in a story reporting on a recent crop survey.
