According to the Texas Crop and Weather Report released May 27, 2026:
Panhandle: Wheat grown for grain was maturing on schedule, while late-planted small grain acres intended for silage were harvested. Winter wheat conditions were very poor to poor.
Rolling Plains: Wheat harvest slowed slightly due to wet fields and stocker cattle were moved off wheat pastures.
North: Wheat continued turning color, with most acres showing advanced maturity. Winter wheat conditions were fair to good.
Far West: Wheat fields were largely cut and baled.
West Central: Heavy, fast-moving downpours caused localized flooding in some areas and additional rainfall over the weekend raised flooding concerns where storms stalled or intensified. Wet conditions halted wheat harvest. Reported yields from wheat fields ranged from 10 – 34 bushels per acre and some fields are still awaiting insurance adjusters.
Central: Cloudy, cooler conditions with heavy rainfall and isolated hail moved across the district this week. Wheat harvest neared completion with only a few outlying fields remaining; yields in many fields averaged 30 – 50 bushels per acre.
South: A series of storm systems brought significant rainfall to the district, delivering 1 – 12 inches of rain across the area, with additional precipitation forecast through the following week. Wheat harvest was beginning in some areas.
