Frederick Elevator Reports First Bushel Cut in 2012 Wheat Harvest

Fri, 04 May 2012 12:09:33 CDT

A southwest Oklahoma elevator has received the first load of wheat harvested from the 2012 crop. Farmer Britton Newhouse delivered the load to the load to the Cassidy Grain elevator in Frederick this morning.

It was cut yesterday from a field five and a half miles west of Frederick on the Gottschall Farm. This is the earliest harvest date anyone in the local area can remember. Harvest in Frederick usually starts the week before or just after Memorial Day.

The moisture content was ten percent. The test weight was 58.7 pounds per bushel. The variety was Jagger and the berries were reported to not be plump.

The yield was estimated to be in the low thirties.

The elevator operator said Newhouse is the only farmer known to be cutting wheat at this time.
