Wheat harvest in Kansas typically begins in early- to mid-June and is complete by mid-July. It begins in the south central part of the state and moves north and west.
Harvest reports will be published 3 days per week in 2024. They will typically be published on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. 2024 Harvest Reports are sponsored by Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council.
