Grains –
We’ve obviously got cold temps ahead in the Plains this weekend but yesterday morning’s lows were also cold and K-State issued a report yesterday noting that this certainly had the potential to harm wheat. The report specifically noted portions of southwest, central, and north-central KS were vulnerable to the cold temps. The report labeled 27 counties at “high risk” of freeze injury. Of course while this wide area is labeled as such, they note “actual freeze damage potential will be field specific and depend on several micro-climate factors.”
I’m including several of the graphics from their report this morning. What I think it is important to note is that if this week’s cold temps caused “high risk” to 27 counties, what might happen on Sunday morning when temps are expected to be even colder? I suppose the good news for KS is that the coldest temps should stay in western areas where the crop is less advanced. However, the TX Panhandle does look to be particularly vulnerable if the forecast verifies.
