The 2020 HRW wheat harvest continued to roll this week as Kansas is now 99% complete with harvest. Cutting was halted late in the week in Nebraska as showers moved across western areas. The same system extended southward into northwest Kansas and northeastern Colorado, but with more limited amounts of precipitation. South Dakota, now 21% complete with harvest, also saw showers from the same system slowing harvest progression. There are early reports out of South Dakota indicating very good yield potential and early deliveries to elevators averaging 58 lb/bu (76.4 kg/hl) to 62 lb/bu (81.5 kg/hl) in central and east central areas. Protein averages in these areas range from 10.5% to 11.5%. 74% of the South Dakota crop is now rated good to excellent. Harvest is also in full swing in Wyoming with yields ranging from 20 bu/ac (1.35 t/ha) to 40 bu/ac (2.69 t/ha), 60 lb/bu (78.9 kg/hl) test weight and 11.5% protein. Washington, Oregon and Idaho are just starting harvest with no early reports available this week…
