In some parts of Kentucky, producers just wrapped up the wheat harvest in early July, about ten days later than normal.  The reason for the delay is thanks to a couple of freezes in mid April, and early May, that affected development of the crop, and yields have been hurt statewide by as much as 25 percent.
