HUSA Oct 15 2026 – Fall Progress Report

Welcome to the Harvest USA Report.

I’m Brian Hale. An original production of Howard Hale Broadcasting, now expanded throughout North America. Let’s find out what’s going on in the harvest world.

The U.S. Wheat Associates graphic summary is up on the USDA website for October. Global wheat production is projected at 822 million metric tons. And Honey Bee Manufacturing, LTD, is harvesting peas out in rural Saskatchewan.

With cab adjustable skid shoes, you can set your stubble height, drop the Airflex NXT right on the ground, and let it follow the field. Great shot of this setup running on a case combine can be seen on our Facebook page at Harvest USA Report. Hale Harvesting has blue skies and progress ahead according to their latest post.

We’re getting closer to the end of our proso acres, they said. That’s good, though we’re never happy to see the season end. The millet didn’t stop maturing during the 10 days or so of wet weather.

It wasn’t dry, but it was maturing. Most of it is approaching full maturity. That means the heads are very fragile and the seeds are just looking for reasons to shatter out of the heads and scatter on the ground.

Rain or strong wind at this point would be very bad news. Timing-wise, they actually just finished swathing millet. If you have some failed corn or milo that you’re wanting to swath or bale this fall, get in touch with Hale Harvesting LLC.

Don’t let that forage go to waste. Wheat planting is underway across the state of Texas according to Texas Wheat, with an estimated 35% of acres planted and 16% emerged. Recent rainfall improved soil conditions, but slowed progress this past week.

As sunny skies emerge, farmers will be back in the fields sowing the 2027 wheat crop. That’s going to do it for today’s Harvest USA report. Find all of these reports on HarvestUSAReport.com. Thanks again for listening and may God bless.
