The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has lowered the 2025 wheat production estimate to from 69 million bushels to 59.2 million bushels. This reduction of 10 million bushels sets Texas at its lowest production level since 2018. NASS also reduced the harvested acreage to 1.85 million acres, but increased the average yield to 32 bu/a.
Despite rain delays and late starts, combines continue to run in areas of the High Plains and Panhandle regions. A producer in Texline reports yields ranging from 80 – 100 bu/a and test weights ranging from 60 – 62 lb/bu. Storms on the forecast this weekend could stall producers across the Panhandle.
