HUSA Jun 8 2026 - Untimely Rains

Let's take a look at where some harvest crews are working today.   Everyone needed rain before, and now we're getting it. While we're trying to work. Same thing for Barr Harvesting. "Finished up in Kingfisher, Oklahoma and got moved up to Enid, and then got rain last night and more to come. Now we wait."    Sanders Harvesting and Trucking has a wheat report for us.    They've cut a few days in their home area in Texas and then started getting some much needed rain. Farmers have been hammered down planting dry land corn. Yields on the wheat not very good.   "Cut some dry land around six to eight bushels with test weights 53 to 57. And some irrigated circles made about 25 bushel and some 15 bushel and test weights were 59.4. Most of it was cut for seed wheat. Showers again last night and this morning, so maybe again next week we can get the right weather and get the rest of what we have to cut out. Just thankful for something to cut here at home," Slick wrote. "Thank you Lord for the moisture."   And we just had Mike Bashutski on the program the other day and they are moving. And it isn't just about loading the equipment and hitting the road. It takes window tarps, chains, boomers, beacons, wide load signs and permits. Most importantly, it takes planning. We constantly monitor our routes for construction and restrictions, rerouting whenever necessary. It might add a few minutes to the trip, but preventing an accident is always worth the detour. The construction crews are just trying to get the job done and go home to their families, like us. That's from Bashutski Harvesting LTD.    We're all just trying to get work done out there to feed the world.
