Wheat harvest is underway in the Nebraska Panhandle.
Pete Miller farms in the southern Panhandle near Lodgepole.
“The wheat’s kind of all over the board. We had some bad
winterkill early this spring, in April, a couple of late freezes that killed
some of it,” Miller says. “The stuff we’re running in now is doing mid-40’s
probably. Test weight’s been real good—it’s running between 60 and 62 pounds.
