The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service says the winter wheat harvest is now 95 percent finished in the state.
Its weekly crop condition report shows most areas of the state are almost done with cutting, with northwest Kansas the farthest behind at 91 percent. Harvest in east-central Kansas was 92 percent completed, while south-central Kansas was 100 percent done.
Meanwhile, the agency rates corn condition as 9 percent excellent, 51 percent good and 31 percent fair. About 9 percent of the state's corn crop is in poor to very poor condition.
