The crop is expected to be harvested off 5.1 million acres this fall. That compares to the recently completed winter wheat harvest which the gov- ernment estimated at 277 million bushels, down 17 percent from last year. Kansas harvested 7.3 million acres of wheat. The agency also forecast the state’s sorghum harvest this fall to total 231 million bushels, up 15 percent from a year ago. Kansas soybean production is forecast at 173 million bushels, down 8 percent from last year.
