[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 04/24/14

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

Wheat in southern Kansas is now at the flag leaf emergence stages of growth.
This suggests that wheat in these areas should begin heading and flowering
within the next 10-14 days. The crop is still jointing in other areas of the
state. Drought conditions continue to dominate the wheat production season;
however, recent rains have brought some relief to the north central region
of the state. The current risk of severe FHB in Kansas is low.
