Volume 11 • Issue 4 • 2025 • 2025 Western Kansas Agricultural Research Report
The 2025 Western Kansas Agricultural Research Report highlights K-State research addressing crop production challenges and opportunities in the region’s semiarid environment. Studies examine dryland cropping and tillage systems, cover crops and crop-livestock integration, cotton irrigation management, and weed control in corn, grain sorghum and soybeans. The research explores practical questions related to soil health, water use, forage production, profitability and management of herbicide-resistant weeds. The report also provides 2024 weather data for Tribune and Garden City to document the environmental conditions influencing western Kansas production systems.
