We are hearing there are tough conditions in Texas right now for the harvesters. Due to drought conditions, Duffek Custom Harvesting is looking for wheat to harvest in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and North. That's Duffek Custom Harvesting.

BT Harvesting writes that they've got most of the crew in and they've already been making good progress on the harvest prep. They may have an early start in Texas, they wrote, that's BT Harvesting.

Thacker Harvesting came across some old pictures from their first years headed south. They were back from 95 and 96, taken anywhere from Alberta to Kansas. Times have sure changed, they wrote, check out that post from Thacker Harvesting on our Harvest USA Report Facebook page.

You'll also find the Oklahoma and Kansas Wheat Commission's reports. Behind every Oklahoma wheat field is a story most people never get to see. This year that story has included dry planting conditions, drought, heat, grazing pressure, and difficult decisions for farm families across the state. In places like Cotton County, some wheat is taken hit after hit, but it's still standing, still trying, and still telling the story of Oklahoma agriculture at its toughest. Get more information from Oklahoma from that Oklahoma wheat crop update.

In Kansas, according to the USDA NASS for the weekend in April 20th, winter wheat jointed is at 76%, ahead of 63% last year, and well ahead of the 51% for the five year average. Headed was 15%, ahead of 5% last year and the 2% average. Kansas wheat is getting ready quickly.

Find all that information that I talked about today right on our Harvest USA Report Facebook page. Also, this audio report is available there.

That's going to do it for today's report. Thanks again for listening and may God bless, I'm Brian Hale.
