Oklahoma wheat and canola farmers are waiting for fields to dry out enough for harvest after recent rains. Farmers’ stress levels are on the rise as they wait for the crops to dry out enough in the fields to allow combines to get rolling. Oklahoma’s Farm News Update reports storms on Wednesday night hit several north central Oklahoma counties. A tornado in Carver County knocked out power in several locations and a Burlington Northern-Santa Fe train may have derailed because of the twister. A lot of western Oklahoma had 90-degree weather on Wednesday, and if they can stay dry, the crops should dry out and be ready for harvest quickly. However, chances of rain continue this week so the best wheat harvest prospects are in areas that get missed by the rain.
