Here are the key findings and insights from Day 2’s route. Read about Day 1's Tour Results here.
Day 2’s scouting tour by FBN Economist Rejeana Gvillo headed into the worst areas for yield and the findings confirmed how bad it is. Yields fell dramatically as the tour hit the SW corner of KS. But as the tour reached the south central region of the state, yield conditions began to improve.

Kansas farmers are seeing wildly variable growing conditions this season, and day 2 of the tour saw the impact on yields. Widespread losses are expected in the SW stretches of the state, while central and Eastern regions are normal, to perhaps even a bit above normal. With one day left on the tour, it seems likely that USDA’s 39 bushel mark for KS in their May estimate is about where the KS Wheat Tour will land. The overall tour average for day 1 was 39.5 and day 2 was 37.
