Southern U.S. Hard Red Wheat Too Wet; More Rain Coming

Kansas City, June 10 (World Weather Inc.) – Another week has passed in the southern U.S. Plains with rainfall well above normal. The precipitation frequency has been much too high in recent weeks and soil conditions are saturated in many areas. The wet bias will continue through the middle part of next week and that will likely lead to more potential for winter wheat quality declines and possible production cuts. The wettest conditions have mostly been from southern Kansas through northern Texas where crops are filling and maturing. Some of the crop has been harvested, but rain is now delaying that process and also raising the risk of head sprouting. A little farther to the north some of the crop has experienced a little wet weather disease. In the meantime, areas in northern Kansas, parts of Nebraska and Colorado have had much less rain and would actually benefit from a boost in precipitation.

Weekly Citrus Weather For Tuesday, June 11, 2025

Kansas City, June 10 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain were noted in Florida’s citrus region during the past week. With more rain on the way in the coming week, citrus development conditions will remain relatively favorable. Several counties remain in a drought or enduring abnormally dry conditions and the need for more significant rain will remain high, although sufficient rain fell earlier this month to bring relief and to support tree and fruit development. Mexico’s citrus areas received varying amounts of rain during the past week with the most significant precipitation noted in portions of west-central and east-central Mexico. Monsoonal rain will occur on a frequent basis during the coming week. East-central and western Mexico will receive several inches of rain and will maintain a good environment for fruit and tree development. Brazil citrus areas will either be dry or receive limited rainfall during the coming week. Harvesting will advance with few disruptions.
