March Wheat Growing


Farmers in Kansas and Rice County are now cutting their wheat. They're starting early. Usually, harvest doesn't begin until around June 14th. This is the earliest start that anyone can remember.

I admit: Until I came to Kansas, I didn't know a thing about wheat. I've learned a lot since then.

All this week, I'll be posting chronological pictures of a nearby wheat field. Today's picture was taken in March. The seeds were planted in October-November.

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed." --Jesus in John 12:24.
