Winter Wheat Crop Condition In The USA Worsening

Winter wheat crop condition in the southern parts of the Great plains in the USA is worsening due to the drought, USDA's latest report states.

40% of the crops in Kansas have been in excellent condition for the past week versus 43% a week earlier. The combination of high temperatures and low soil humidity in this period has a negative effect.

The drought in Oklahoma is even worse and 42% of the crops (43%) are in good or excellent condition.

Crop condition in Texas is getting better, but still remains relatively poor – 35% (34%).
