    HUSA Jul 6 2026 - Brandon Roland

    Overview of Agricultural Challenges: The conversation outlines severe agricultural challenges faced in Nebraska, particularly with wheat and corn crops. The dry conditions, hail, and freezes have significantly damaged crops, resulting in poor yields, and many farmers are opting not to harvest. The drought is so severe that for the first time in over 100 years, the Roland family will not harvest any wheat. Crop insurance has been activated to cover losses, allowing farmers the option to graze cattle on the failed wheat. Irrigation challenges are highlighted with water limitations due to allocations from the Ogallala Aquifer. The state of Nebraska oversees these allocations, affecting farmers' abilities to adequately irrigate their crops. The conversation also references issues with local rivers drying up, complicating the situation further. The discussion mentions the impact of unexpected weather patterns, like temperature fluctuations that damage crops, and replanting issues with crops like sugar beets due to late frosts. High winds have also compounded the drought conditions, evaporating moisture from the soil quickly. A broader look includes regional fire threats due to dry conditions and difficulties in crop hiring due to escalating costs. The conversation touches on expenses related to fuel and labor, emphasizing their impact on the feasibility of production and harvest. Technological and Methodological Discussion: The conversation touched upon farming techniques, including irrigation systems, tilling methods, and innovations like the Dammer Diker, a tool used in other regions to improve water retention and crop yields. It discussed the practicality and challenges of different types of farming equipment and methods for optimizing crop planting and harvesting. This includes the utility of chemical treatments versus traditional mechanical tillage for managing weeds and ensuring proper crop growth.

    Overview of Wheat Harvest: Glen Jones describes their journey starting from West Central Oklahoma, moving to southern Kansas, faced with suboptimal wheat growth conditions (18 bushels per acre). Many fields yielded nothing, being "zeroed out" from various factors, including drought and late freezes. Harvest Equipment and Logistics: Discussion on equipment reveals the use of a straight semi-trailer for transporting harvested wheat, and comparisons of row size and type of farming equipment, such as John Deere air seeders with hydraulic downforce, which are adopted for no-tilling into Milo stubble fields. Crop Damage and Yields: Crops in Kansas faced freeze and drought damage, leading to small kernel sizes. Additionally, severe weather conditions in Nebraska and South Dakota prevented sufficient wheat planting, causing interruptions in the farmer's typical northern harvest route. The farmer concludes they had to prematurely return home, cutting their wheat harvest endeavors short. Current Conditions and Future Crop Prospects: Despite the adverse conditions elsewhere, the farmer reports decent yields of hay (alfalfa) with good rain in their home area and anticipates possible decent milo because of recent rains.

    HUSA Jun 29 2026 - Jesper Hansen

    Agricultural Challenges in Scobie, Montana: Jesper Hansen discusses the recent extreme weather in Scobey, which included unprecedented winds causing significant crop damage, prompting reseeding efforts. The damage spans various crops, including peas, chickpeas, lentils, and wheat, and was exacerbated by cold weather affecting the hay crop. The recovery is anticipated to take several years. Though recent rains have been beneficial, they are insufficient to recover pastures entirely. Soil and Crop Management: Despite attempts to mitigate soil erosion through no-till farming practices and the use of rollers, the damage was extensive across different terrains, including clay and sandy land. The effectiveness of various tilling methods was notably inconsistent. Jesper highlights that even heavily managed land, like those using rollers for improved harvests, was affected by the extreme conditions.

    Today's guest is Mike Matejcek from North Dakota.   The discussion touches on the challenges of poor crop yields, particularly in Oklahoma, noting instances where no crops were combined for the first time in history due to various circumstances. The topic extends to weather conditions impacting farming activities, like heavy rains and hail. Specific examples include a friend in Lamont, Oklahoma experiencing significant rainfall and hail. It also highlights the strategic timing needed for harvesting, particularly when anticipated rains could disrupt operations.
