According to the Texas Crop and Weather Report released June 3, 2025:
North: Overall weather conditions were cool and wet. Some counties received significant rain, which caused delays to harvest and fieldwork.
Central: Counties across the district received 1-5 inches of rainfall. First cuttings in hay operations and small grain harvests were interrupted by wet field conditions, with wheat combining halted due to concerns about grain sprouting and quality issues.
West Central: Scattered storms occurred mid- to late-week. Some producers started harvesting wheat fields but needed drier conditions. Wheat harvest was about halfway complete.
Panhandle: The district received rainfall and unseasonably cool weather, furthering development of small grain fields.
Rolling Plains: Farmers were waiting for drier days to get equipment into fields for wheat harvest. Rain and wet conditions caused some concern about wheat test weights and sprouting in the heads.

Scattered precipitation has stalled harvest operations across the state. Producers in the Blacklands region report anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain over the past 10 days. Standing water in fields, overcast skies and more rain in the forecast have farmers waiting on sunshine to get back in the field. Before the storms, producers reported test weights ranging from 56 – 60 lb/bu.
