Oklahoma Wheat Commission's Mike Schulte Says Harvest Could be Largely Done by End of the Week

Our own Ed Richards talked with Mike Schulte, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission on Monday afternoon- and Schulte says we are probably two thirds of the way done- or better in harvesting the 2009 crop. With the hot dry conditions, it is very possible that we will be close to being done in almost all areas of the state- except for perhaps the irrigated wheat in the Panhandle.
Schulte gives us a rundown of how far along he sees us from the south to the north border of the state. He says it appears that the yields have improved as we have moved further north- and that still the wild card for the final total bushel count will be the number of acres that simply have not been harvested for grain this season.
