The wheat harvest should begin in earnest sometime this coming week in Geary County.

JC Post talked with the owner / manager of Geary Grain Elevator Joe Hund on Saturday. “Two months ago the wheat looked poor. Then we had the nice rains and it really healed the wheat a bunch. And then we got excessive rain and it brought disease, and drowning and stuff like that. I think there’s still going to be a decent wheat crop in Geary County.”

Some test cutting has been done.

One of the issues has been letting the ground dry after all the rains so combines can get in the fields. “That’s one of the things holding them up right now. So it’s just getting close to where they can get out there.”

The annual wheat harvest is about to begin.
