Scouts assessed 211 wheat fields along six routes traversing western and southern Kansas from Colby to Wichita, along with some sampling in five select counties in northern Oklahoma.

Last year, the average yield estimate on these same routes was 42.4 bpa. After two days of scouting on the 2025 tour, the average estimate yield is 52.0 bpa, compared to 45.8 bpa in 2024.
