Wheat harvest at a standstill due to heavy rains across the state

June 4, 2025

Oklahoma wheat harvest is at a standstill across the state today. Some minor harvesting continued in parts of southwest Oklahoma yesterday, but most areas were rained out. Heavy rainfall southwest and north of Altus moved east, bringing significant moisture to Grady County and locations further east of the I-35 corridor. Rain and high humidity also delayed harvest progress in central Oklahoma. Additional rainfall is predicted starting tomorrow and continuing through the weekend across western Oklahoma.

The next Oklahoma harvest report will be published Monday, June 9.

Note: The following reports are from earlier this week at locations that had accepted grain. Data has not changed, as most locations have not received wheat since Monday.
