Western Kansas wheat crops are DEAD: “There’s nothing out there,” says farmer

In a normal year, America’s heartland would be brimming with lush, green wheat crops – but this is not a normal year.

According to reports, western Kansas is a wasteland of parched, dead fields. Wheat crops have been decimated, which means the American food supply will suffer yet another major blow.

“There’s nothing out there,” says Vance Ehmke, a wheat farmer from Lane County. “It’s dead. It’s just ankle-high straw.”

Ehmke’s farm is one of many that, after being planted several months ago, now looks like a dust bowl. Rows of brown, shriveled plants nest in hardened dirt that is now scarred with deep cracks due to a lack of water combined with the relentless beating sun.

If there was ever a year for this not to be happening, this is the year. Global wheat supplies are already being strangled by numerous factors, including the war in Ukraine. And now a major wheat production region of the United States is facing near-total desolation.

How much is going to be exported? Are those bushels for USA consumption or partial, rest being exported?

I wish I could tell you about where it all goes but I will assume Kansas state ag school should have that info as that is where I got the 2022 wheat estimate.

I don’t advocate or claim accuracy for any the following just some perspective.

No rain, too much rain and wind, and high prices.
Welcome to Earth! :-)

Theese guys are all having a rough ride and they are not suprised that conditions vary. They literally know how to ‘hedge’ their bets, with futures contracts. The fuel prices are slappin em upside the wallet too.

2022 will see the lowest wheat exports in a generation. Mostly because of higher US prices due to smaller US wheat crop (by 10% or more).

Australian wheat is said to be booming.

These days a “health emergency” is when a womyn can’t get an abortion within a mile of her apartment.

I think people are forgetting that there are two wheat seasons in the western plains.
