This year s expected harvest for hard red winter wheat could be rather average. But thanks to high prices for the grain per bushel, farmers should expect to see higher profits nonetheless.
Per-bushel prices are currently trading above $7 on the Chicago Board of Trade (and nearly $7 at elevators in Oklahoma), which is about $2 per bushel higher than last year. These prices are prompting some growers in Oklahoma who typically graze cattle on their wheat are deciding to harvest a mature crop instead.
The harvest generally starts in late May, and depending on weather conditions and the maturity of the crop, can last two to three months.
