[Fhb-update_cgp] FHB Update from KS, 05/12/14

[FHB Update - Central GP, Hard Winter Wheat]

The wheat southern Kansas was more advanced in growth stage than I estimated
last week. The hot, dry conditions last week really pressed the wheat growth
stages ahead and most wheat in South Central Kansas is already past
flowering. Wheat in the central and north central regions of the state are
likely at flowering and some fields may already be at the grain filling
stages of growth. Parts of central KS received rain over the weekend;
however, the risk of severe Fusarium head blight remains low based on dry
conditions preceding these rains.
