Photographer states :: Kansas wheat harvest - Wheat Truck awaiting load from combine.
It's probably dependant on elevation. There is some difference in elevation in Kanas, the terrain more or less rolls, gently up and down hills, but the elevation differences are very small. This is the time when 'Winter Wheat' is harvested. There will be crops to follow this harvest this year, but, depending on the saturation of the soil and/or the chance erotion and/or oil contamination has changed it's fertility and/or tillability there could be significant impacts on the American harvest.

Photographer states :: Our surfeit of water requires rather larger than normal bailing devices. All punning aside these large bales swept here from somewhere upstream and moored on a flat between the levees. Water levels are slowing receding but more rain is forecast for this afternoon.
