Reviewing the Oklahoma Crop Production final numbers-


For the spring planted crop season- the crop that had more acres planted and harvested in Oklahoma was cotton. Upland Cotton production totaled 640 thousand bales, 6 percent lower than 2018. Yield averaged 640 pounds per acre, compared with 595 pounds last year. Acreage harvested, at 480 thousand acres, is down 13 percent from last year. It proved to be a disappointing production season, as fall weather failed to give the crop a final boost into harvest time.


Soybean acres were significantly lower in 2019 versus 2018- dropping from 600,000 harvested acres in 2018 to just 440,000 acres in 2019. Yields increased one bushel per acre in 2019 to 29 bushels per but with far fewer acres- production declined 25% to 12.76 million bushels.


Oklahoma corn production totaled 45.2 million bushels, up 25 percent from the previous year. Statewide yields averaged 137 bushels per acre, 3 bushels higher than 2018. Acres harvested for grain, at 330 thousand, are up 22 percent from last year.
