Western Wheat Recovers

This wheat field just outside McCook, like much of the winter wheat in western Nebraska, dodged significant damage from the early April frost. Condition of Nebraska's wheat is now rated 2% very poor, 9% poor, 34% fair, 44% good and 11% excellent, above last year. Wheat jointed was at 46%, ahead of last year’s 36% and the average of 39%.
