Oklahoma wheat harvest is racing the rain, and this week’s crop update shows just how different the 2026 season looks from one end of the state to the other.

In this Oklahoma Wheat Crop Update, Dave Deken checks in from Rendel Farms near Miami, Oklahoma, where Ottawa County producer Brent Rendel is seeing strong yield potential but fighting repeated rain events that threaten test weight and grain quality. Oklahoma State University Extension Small Grains Specialist Amanda Silva, Ph.D., also shares what OSU variety trials are showing across the state, with yields ranging from extremely low in drought-hit areas to strong fields where moisture arrived at the right time.

This episode breaks down the real story behind Oklahoma’s wheat harvest: big yields in some fields, abandoned acres in the Panhandle, quality concerns from late-season rain and the management factors that still matter most when weather makes the rules.
