    HUSA Jul 24 2026 - Damron Harvesting

    We're talking to Sarah Nicholson, Damron Harvesting.   The wheat over there was very good. Had he got in and cut it when it should have been cut, I mean one of the fields even after 15-20 inches of rain on it, still we cut a field that made 47 after all that amount of rain on it. It would have made 55-60 I imagine.   The test weight was 55 when we were cutting it and there wasn't very much sprout damage really and there wasn't any weeds. We just fought a lot of crabgrass but our sample and everything was very clean. He just got hurt a little bit on the test weight. So the last 400 acres was not easy to cut. It took us a long time because of the rain but I mean it was good enough that he had to cut it even after all that amount of rain. I mean it was better than anything that we had cut of our own in western Oklahoma.   So the profit there was really good. He wasn't the only one. Whenever we were up there, there was a lot of combines still cutting, you know, July 7th in Oklahoma which is very much unheard of. It was just a crazy year with a lot of rain. Overall, we had a very successful harvest with just our simple, we just took one combine up there and 1600 acres and came back. 47 bushel to the acre crop. Yeah, after it had 15-20 inches of rain on it.    You could have got 55 before the rain and the test weight would have been up around 60 before the rain, huh?    That's just a guess. Yeah, I mean the wheat was still very good considering how much rain it had on it. So that's just how good the wheat was.

    HUSA Jul 23 2026 - Sarah Nicholson

    Sarah Nicholson from Dameron Harvesting discussed their recent harvest, which occurred in western Oklahoma, specifically in areas like Amarita, Waketa, and Medford. Although the initial job was to harvest 800 acres, this expanded to 1,600 acres due to favorable circumstances and availability of additional work. The harvest was complicated by excessive rainfall, with 15 to 20 inches falling on the crops, which led to significant delays and challenges such as muddy fields and rampant crabgrass. Despite this, the harvest was deemed successful, cutting wheat that yielded 47 bushels per acre following the heavy rains. Initially, the wheat could have potentially produced 55 to 60 bushels per acre. The unusual wet season resulted in harvesters working in Oklahoma much later than typical, with operations extending into July when they are usually concluded. The high rain levels proved to be both a hindrance and an advantage, as seen in the exceptional quality of dryland corn compared to irrigated corn.

    Well, the custom harvesters are finally able to get busy, and in fact many of them were not able to take our phone call today, but we are going to go ahead and give you an idea where everybody's harvesting.   Let's take a look.    Zeller Harvesting is getting some night chopping done on some corn, while BT Harvesting has been keeping busy finishing up winter wheat, West River, South Dakota. They're reporting some beautiful wheat with some even better scenery.   Van Dreisten's Combines made it to Montana. After a handful of super hot days on the road, they got the campers parked, plugged in, dragged out the tubes, and headed for the river. At 6 p.m. it was still 90 degrees plus, making it a perfect way to wrap up an uneventful trip north. The excitement is building as they get ready for the next chapter of harvest. Before long, the guys will have the machines unloaded, duels installed, and maintenance wrapped up before we head to the fields. They wrote.    Sanders Harvesting and Trucking is in Wyoming with some really short wheat and some big rocks. Take a look at that photo on our Facebook page at Harvest USA Report. He's not kidding. In fact, you can catch all these stories and more on our Harvest USA Facebook page, or on the web at HarvestUSAReport.com.    If you have something to report, we'd love to hear from you.   Not only does it help our listeners, but oftentimes those who are mentioned on this Harvest USA Report can find new jobs, employees, or make other contacts. Get your name on the Harvest USA Report by simply calling in or sending us a report. You can find that contact information on our homepage at HarvestUSAReport.com. Another way to get our attention is by tagging us on Facebook by the same name.
