HUSA Jun 24 2026 - Harvest Crew Updates

Let's take a look at where those harvest crews are rolling now with some precipitation around the country in some parts.

 

We see Frederick Harvesting cutting wheat at their home base in Alden, Kansas with three John Deere S7-700 combines.

 

Neumiller Harvesting says it's finally raining here in Leoti, Kansas. Time for a baseball game. (?) Well, since it was raining and they couldn't cut, they gathered in the field and played some ball. You do whatever you can out there on the harvest run.

 

Friesen Harvesting had some truck troubles on the interstate. That's never fun, they wrote. Got to St. Francis, Kansas and wet weather moved in last night, so we hurried up and waited. Got some more rain at home, so praise the Lord.

 

And the Oklahoma Wheat Crop Update is out. It's nearly finished in fact. This late season rain is still shaping tests, weights, yields, protein and the final 2026 crop outlook. In this Oklahoma Wheat Crop Update, Dave Deacon reports from a soggy Oklahoma State University agronomy farm in Stillwater with harvest estimated at about 95% complete. Mike Schulte with the Oklahoma Wheat Commission shares the statewide crop and market outlook, while Amanda Silva, PhD, Oklahoma State University Extension Small Grain Specialist, explains why 2026 will be remembered as a drought year and what producers can learn from variety performance and management trials from the Oklahoma Wheat Commission.

 

And finally, things are abuzz here at Harvest USA. In honor of Pollinator Month, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture is continuing to teach us more about pollinators this week. Contrary to popular belief, most bees nest in the ground and are considered solitary. Only honeybees live in a hive and are considered social.
