HUSA May 15 2026 - Prayers Needed

With some folks actually getting some cutting done, let's take a look at where our crews are, or are headed.

 

American Harvesting is in Burlington, Colorado and they recently posted a video of their travel bunkhouse for harvest season. They custom built it last winter and this will be their second year using it. There's a full video of that bunkhouse on our Facebook page at Harvest USA Report.

 

And we're asking for some prayers. Friesen Harvesting had a fire, asking for prayer for the boys. "Fire at home. Lost a lot already", they wrote. That was Friesen Harvesting.

 

And Van Driesten Harvesting asks that we say a prayer for the farmers and custom harvesters this season. We can do everything right all year and still watch it fall apart because the rain didn't come where the storms came at the wrong time. This is the part that people don't always see. The stress, the risk, the sleepless nights heading into harvest. Pray for patience, safety, good decisions and for everyone to make it home safely at the end of the day. That's from Van Driesten Harvesting.

 

Looking at some crop conditions, the winter wheat. Let's look at Kansas first. According to the USDA NNSS for the week ending May 11th, winter wheat headed was 86 percent, ahead of the 67 percent last year, and well ahead of 49 percent for the five-year average.

 

And for the Nebraska Wheat Crop Report for the week of May 10, winter wheat headed 36 percent. There's a chart from the Nebraska Wheat Board showing subsoil moisture, topsoil moisture, and the percentages of the winter wheat condition. You can find that right on our Harvest USA Facebook page, and be sure to follow us.

 

The late Howard Hale wasn't very big on social media, and since he passed away we've been trying to build that social media following up. Please follow us at Harvest USA Report on Facebook.
