Kansas always will be known around the world as the wheat state, but corn is definitely king this fall.
Kansas' corn growers are projected to harvest 607.2 million bushels of corn from 4.7 million acres. Total bushels are down three percent from the August estimate of 629.2 million bushels but still up one percent from last year's record production of 598.3 million bushels. The 4.7 million acres planted to corn is the highest planted acreage for corn in Kansas since 1936.
