While some parts of the state’s wheat crop are in tough shape, Oklahoma Wheat Commission Executive Director Mike Schulte says northeast Oklahoma wheat looks good. “Northeastern Oklahoma grows soft red winter wheat which makes anywhere from 85-to-100 bushels per acre and the hard red winter wheat was making anywhere from 50-to-55 bushels per acre.” Elsewhere, yields are a different story with USDA estimating the statewide average at 25 bushels per acre. “There was a lot of abandonment in the Panhandle regions which I expect will take in 30 percent of what they normally harvest.”
