MANHATTAN, KANSAS, US — After an extensive tour of the largest hard red winter wheat production state, wheat tour scouts circled back to the tour's genesis in Manhattan, Kansas, and reported slightly higher estimated yields from the central portion of the state, and said the crop was in better shape than in the western and southern cropping districts seen a day earlier. On Day 3 of the Wheat Quality Council's 2023 hard winter wheat tour, scouts made 52 field stops during an abbreviated day in the fields taking them from Wichita, Kansas, US, to Manhattan.
