The 2025 Oklahoma wheat harvest is moving quickly, with many producers and custom harvesters finishing up in the southwest. Significant progress has also been made across central and far western parts of the state, as combines now roll in nearly every wheat-producing region — including the north central corridor near the Kansas border.

However, wet conditions are still causing delays. Northern Oklahoma fields, especially around Kremlin, Blackwell, Ponca City, and Braman, remain muddy from recent storms. The same is true in the Afton and Miami areas. In some cases, harvesters are skipping low-lying spots to return once they dry out.

The Panhandle has also seen some delays in dryland wheat harvest due to early-week rain.

Test weights have slipped because of last week’s heavy moisture but are still averaging around 59 pounds per bushel statewide. Yields vary, typically ranging from the mid-30s to mid-50s. Some fields under intensive management have produced 60 to 80 bushels per acre. Statewide average protein is holding steady at 11.1 percent.

As of today, the Oklahoma Wheat Commission estimates the 2025 harvest is 55 percent complete.
