v 2.4.3.0

Rain fell too late to rescue much of Oklahoma’s wheat crop, the smallest in eight years, according to the executive director of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. The commission projected the state's winter wheat crop at 57.05 million bushels, about half the size of the 2021 crop and the smallest since 2014. The commission predicted an average winter wheat yield of 23.5 bushels per acre, also the state's least since 2014. K.C. hard red winter wheat futures are trading above $11 a bushel this spring for the first time since 2008. Oklahoma is the second largest wheat producer in the U.S. Reuters (New York), May 5, 2022
