Drought Harvest: The 2023 LaRosh Wheat Harvest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Extreme drought persisted in north-central Kansas throughout most of 2023, after a very dry winter. This resulted in poor wheat crops and fall crops. Jhan LaRosh tells the story of this year's wheat harvest-- one of the worst in years.
This year's harvest only lasted a few days. Most fields could not even be harvested due to low yields and poor, short wheat. The LaRoshes harvested wheat mostly just to reseed for the next season.
Since 2012, LaRosh wheat harvest videos have been a staple of online agriculture video. The tradition continues here. The LaRosh farm is a multi-generational family farm in north-central Kansas. The first homestead was established in this area in 1871.

So sorry you've had a rough time of it. Here in the UK we had a drought in the Spring and then constant rain during harvest and autumn sowing. Very little wheat drilled as a result and crops harvested are poor quality with low yields. Income is way below cost of production as a result. We look forward to a better 2024 and will pray for you as we pray for ourselves. God bless. UK Farmer
Failed crops due to drought is always hard, you have a great attitude and fantastic video production, thanks for sharing
I'm so sorry for your farm family that your crop was a failure. God IS in charge, like you stated, Jhan. Prayers for y'all that your corn, cattle, and other crops fared much better than your wheat...and prayers for wisdom for the future. Blessings in 2024! 🙏
Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.

merry christmas and happy new year toyou and your family. God is control.he answers parayer when you talk to him.
Here in sw ks half our wheat didn’t emerge till May. The other half we got emerged and it was just small insignificant wheat its whole vegetative life span. But it stayed alive till the May rains and made 30-40 bushel which was a crazy surprise. But my goodness the weeds we harvested to get half the wheat out was horrible.
So many will be glad to see the back of 2023 ,as you guys have drought we here in N Ireland and Ireland as a whole have rain day in and day out.....but God is still in control and we gotta trust him in everything.God Bless
Hopefully this snow will help bring a great crop this summer! Great film. Looking forward to the next.
Thats a shame , you spend so much time work and money and get nothing. You deserve much more for your work. I wish you a record yield next year. God bless you and your Family. Greetings from Germany
Hopefully 2024 will be better! Grain harvest on our farm was also bad, bad yields and a lot of wheeds. And a lot of rain...

Great video as always.
Dear All
I wish you all the best.
May the upcoming year be better than the previous one regarding yields.
Each of us has to be Jack of all trades...
You will do it : you have a family...
The video production is 👌👌👌👋👏👋👋
Greetings from South Central Ky as a retired farmer I know what you’re going through. I know a lot of farmers in the mid west took a beating due to the drought. Did you have any corn and how did it do? God Bless you and all of our farmers that feed not only this country but the world 🙏
Yes we had corn and it did yield surprisingly well thanks for your comment
Buenas noches una pregunta es el mismo señor de laros farmer.
I think we stole all your rain in Ireland. It has barely stopped raining here in 2023. A disaster of a year
