Soybean harvest in Kansas may be better than expected, Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service said Thursday.

Kansas farmers are expected to cut 103.6 million bushels of soybeans, which would be up 3 percent from last month’s forecast but still 7 percent fewer soybeans than a year ago. Soybean yields were forecast at an average 37 bushels per acre.

The agency did not change its forecast that the state’s corn crop forecast was 429 million bushels, or 1 percent below last year’s.
