The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) estimates that harvest in Texas is 83% complete, which is down 9% from the 5-year average. This drop in percentage is likely due to the high amounts of precipitation that has stalled combines throughout this harvest season.
Wheat fields in the Panhandle and High Plains regions have received anywhere from 0.1 – 2 inches of rain in the last 48 hours. While some producers have been able to resume harvest after the holiday weekend, more storms are forecasted this evening, which could, once again, halt harvest operations.
