Rain is coming. And farmers are hustling.

With rain in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday this week, some local farmers are working hard to plant wheat ahead of the rain.

We have a wheat variety guide to help farmers determine which variety will work best for them. See how each variety rates for: maturity, height, drought, and straw strength here: https://bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/download/kansas-wheat-variety-guide-2026_MF991

“A really good way to tell if a pumpkin is actually mature, along with the color of the pumpkin itself, is also the color of the stem. Is the stem thick? Is it taut? Is it starting to show signs of age? And also, is the stem have a tendril above it? Most binding crops do. Most cucurbits do have some type of tendril above. And when that tendril starts to dry out, that’s how you know the plant’s actually maturing and that fruit is maturing as well.” Kenny Dodson, Wildcat Extension District

The Autumnal Equinox officially begins Wednesday night, and Thursday is the first official full day of Fall.
