Pushed by strong winds, the Substation Fire, which began July 17, raced through the wheat fields of Oregon's Wasco and Sherman counties, traveling as much as 16 miles in one day, reports KGW8.
It is unclear exactly how much wheat burned here, but the Oregon Wheat Commission estimates between one and two million bushels. Priced roughly at $6 a bushel, the losses add up quickly.
Now their new concern is the dust storms formed by the powdery dirt.
