Yields reported from 5 bushel an acre to mid-20’s. Test weights now trending 56-59 pounds per bushel compared to earlier cuttings making 59 to 60 pounds per bushel. Yields being reported from low teens to high twenties, averaging in the low 20’s.Īltus/Duke/Carter- Harvest in this region reported as 99% done. Test weights ranging from 60 to 61 pounds/bushel. No sprout damage reported from these locations.įrederick- Harvest in this region is 99% complete. Proteins ranging from the 11.5% to 12.5%. Yields ranging in the low teens to mid-20’s. Test weights in this region ranging from 58-60 pounds per bushel. Grandfield/Devol/Chattanooga/Lawton- Grandfield is 98% complete, Devol is 99% complete, Chattanooga is 98% complete, Lawton is reported 96% completed. **Soft Red Winter Wheat- A versatile weak-gluten wheat with excellent milling and baking characteristics, Soft Red Winter is suited for cookies, crackers, pretzels, pastries and flat breads. **Hard Red Winter Wheat-Versatile, with excellent milling and baking characteristics for pan bread, Hard Red Winter is also a choice wheat for Asian noodles, hard rolls, flat breads, general purpose flour and cereal. The Oklahoma Wheat Commission is now calling Oklahoma wheat harvest 75% completed. Irrigated wheat making in the low to mid 40’s. Yields on both the dryland and irrigated wheat coming in extremely low, with dryland ranging from 5 bushels per acre to mid 20’s.

Yields in Northeast Oklahoma coming in strong ranging from 30 to 60 bushels per acre on both the HRW and SRW wheat.ĭryland wheat harvest is progressing in the Panhandle with irrigated wheat also now being harvested. Harvest has gotten a good start up around Afton and Miami this week, the majority of the crop in this region is Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat although some Hard Red Winter (HRW) is also being harvested in this area. Test weights being reported from Enid North up around Jefferson, Medford, Lamont, Renfrow, Perry, Tonkawa, Ponca City, and Blackwell ranging from 58-61 pounds. Test weights have been lowered from Southern Oklahoma to Central Oklahoma, but based on earlier cuttings with higher test weights most locations are still hoping for a 58 bushel per pound average. It is also important to note several areas in Northwest Oklahoma up by Cherokee and Burlington had severe drought and large portions of that region will not be harvested, which will also have major impact on statewide bushels that are taken in. In the Northern tier of the state where yields are better, regions are still looking at averages in the high 20’s to mid-30’s. Yields in central and Northern Oklahoma are being reported as higher ranging from 15 bushels per acre to as high as 65 bushels per acre. In South Central Oklahoma, yields being reported from 10 bushels per acre to the mid 30’s. Yields are ranging all over the board from the low teens to mid-20’s in Southwest, Oklahoma. Proteins across the state are favorable with averages coming in between 12 to 13% in most places.

In Northern Oklahoma not much sprout damage is being reported. The majority of sprout damage in these regions is falling in the 0 to 2% category, with 5 to 7% of the crop having as much as 15% damage. In Central Oklahoma sprout damage is estimated from 2% to 15%. In South Central, fields reported to be having 10% to 18% sprout damage on 20% of the loads being taken in. In Southwest Oklahoma, some fields have as much at 10 to 30% damage, this would be in 10 percent of the crop from this region. (Note: Percentages in comparison to non- sprouted wheat has not changed over the past two weeks.) The sprout damage has also been variety specific in many instances. Due to open weather over the past week– test weights, protein numbers and yield reports continue to be on par with the numbers that were reported last week.Įlevators are still reporting sprout damage across the state in the Southwest, South Central and Central regions due to excessive moisture that was received in these regions prior to harvest.
