The rain-delayed Oklahoma wheat harvest is recording high quality yields of 60-61 pounds<\/u><\/a> a bushel near its completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is despite an early reduction in test weights to between 57 and 59 a bushel, especially in southwest Oklahoma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the harvest continues however, weights will average 60 pounds a bushel since the lesser weights occurred before the rains. This is according to a June 10, 2024 harvest assessment report by the Oklahoma Wheat Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time the Commission reported the above data, the entire Oklahoma wheat harvest was already 55% <\/u><\/a>over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is contrast to a normal reaping timeline, which usually ends by June 1. In 2024, rain fell mid-way and partially cut off the harvest and with it came worries of excess grain moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the same, this same precipitation is proving worthwhile to northern Oklahoma farmers, who reported impressive weight results before June 13.  Indeed, late precipitation has nourished a crop that grew under a dry spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecast the 2024 Oklahoma wheat crop at\u00a092.6 million bushels<\/u><\/a>. This means Oklahoma may not top its 2022 harvest of 111 million bushels but will still have a bumper crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-state Wheat Harvest Brings Prices Down\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given the ongoing good yields in Oklahoma and other wheat states, nationwide wheat prices <\/u><\/a>look on a downward trajectory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the winter wheat harvest in the U.S. is forecast at 6% more than that of the 2023-24 period. USDA also expects all-wheat production and exports to rise year-on-year in the 2024-25 year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As national production increases by 3% to 1.858 billion bushels, the 2024-25 farm gate price will drop to $6 a bushel <\/u><\/a>from 2023-24\u2019s $7.10 a bushel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American wheat exports will also rise in the 2024-25 season to 775 million bushels, up by 55 million, year-on-year. This increase will put the 2024-25 farm-gate price lower than the February 2024\u2019s peak of $6.36 per bushel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, as the rain-delayed Oklahoma wheat harvest peaks with high-quality yields, there is expectation of strong domestic supplies. But as the data below reveals, the U.S. still imports around 1\/5th<\/sup>\u00a0of its wheat production total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Wheat Statistics<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wheat ranks among the most important commercial grains in the U.S and it grows mostly in the upper Midwest. In 2023, Oklahoma in south-central United States was the 9th<\/sup> biggest producer with 68.6 million bushels<\/u><\/a> (bu). The Midwest topped output with North Dakota\u2019s 307.8 million bushels (bu), Kansas\u2019 201.3 million bu. and Montana\u2019s 186.7 million bu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the U.S. compare in global wheat trade and consumption<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States produces just\u00a06 to 7%\u00a0<\/u><\/a>of world wheat, but it often makes the top 5 biggest global exporters. It is also a major importer, with\u00a0140 million bu<\/u><\/a>\u00a0imported in the 2023-24 season. In consumption, the U.S. ranked 5th<\/sup>\u00a0in the 2023-24 season with\u00a031.407 million tonnes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0(1.15 billion bu). Comparatively, the consumption leader was China at 153.5 million tonnes (5.64 billion bu).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which are the most cultivated wheat varieties in the United States?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States grows durum wheat, soft red winter, soft white, hard red winter and hard red spring wheat. In the 2023-24 season, production of all wheat varieties in the United States reached\u00a01.81 billion bu.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
