Small Grains in Good Condition
The wheat crop was rated 69 percent good to excellent, while rye was rated even better, with 79 percent in good to excellent condition. Canola conditions were also rated mostly good. Fall planting was winding down and more than half of wheat, rye and canola had emerged by the end of the week. Harvest of all row crops was underway. Over an inch of rain was recorded on average over the last week, with the heaviest totals in the southeastern quarter of the state. The October 15th U.S. Drought Monitor showed improvements to drought conditions, especially across eastern Oklahoma. Almost 42 percent of the state had no drought condition rating at all, up from 23 percent the week before. Temperatures averaged in the low to mid 50s, and were cooler as the week went on, dipping below freezing on Friday and Saturday. Topsoil moisture conditions were rated 65 percent adequate and 34 percent short to very short. Subsoil moisture conditions were rated 47 percent adequate and 53 percent short to very short. There were 5.0 days suitable for fieldwork.
Small Grains: Wheat and rye were rated mostly in good condition. Wheat planting was 84 percent complete, and 61 percent of wheat had emerged by Sunday. Rye planting was 89 percent complete by the end of the week, and 75 percent had emerged. Seventy-nine percent of oat seedbed preparation was complete by Sunday, and 41 percent of oats were planted. One quarter of oat acres had emerged, even with the five-year average.

Row Crops: Harvest of all row crops had begun and was more than halfway completed for corn, sorghum and peanuts. The corn harvest was 86 percent complete by week’s end.
