Oklahoma Wheat Commission’s Mike Schulte provided this latest harvest report and weather forecast.
Oklahoma wheat harvest had several locations in Southwest and Central Oklahoma taking small amounts of grain as producers were trying to get into fields on Saturday and Sunday. All locations were getting late starts due to high humidity and producers fighting mud from rains off and on over the past week. Producers are hoping to get back into the fields this afternoon.
**Test weights reported at all locations ranging from 58 lbs. to 64 lbs. per bushel, most of the wheat is still coming in at 60 lbs. per bushel or higher. Yields are being reported from the mid 30’s to mid 40’s for the most part. Producers with management-intensive plans have been reporting yields in the mid 50’s to mid 60’s. Protein on early cuttings reported from 10.8% to 11.5%. Most locations reporting an 11% average.
