Farmers in Western Kansas are reporting a bin-buster harvest as they expect one of the best crops in years.
Farmers say prices have remained at some of the highest harvest-time levels so no one is complaining about the extra loads.
This comes after a multiyear drought which had hurt the wheat harvest.
Piles are growing across western Kansas, a sign that the yield on crops is high.
Western farmers report yields of 40 to 70 bushels an acre.
But farmers in south-central Kansas call the wheat harvest one of the worst ever.
