Oklahoma wheat planting DOUBLED last week. 🌾
🎧 👉 apple.co/4cEXNWW
But here’s the catch: we’re still well behind normal.

✅ 14% of Oklahoma wheat is planted
📊 Normally: about 35%
🌱 Only 3% has emerged
💧 More than half of topsoil is still short or very short on moisture
🚜 Sorghum harvest is already past halfway

The drills are moving, but rain, soil moisture and w**d control could all shape how this wheat crop gets started.

And if you’re planting wheat right now, it’s worth asking: Does your w**d-control plan actually fit your planting date and field conditions?

Hear the full update on the Red Dirt Agronomy Crop Cast and check out Episode 509, “The New Rules of Wheat W**d Control.”

Where do you go when you need an answer?
YouTube? Google? AI? Someone you trust?
🎧👉 apple.co/3SdHQPA
In Episode 518, we talk with Daniel Adamson, Ph.D., about how good information reaches people in a world where nearly every answer starts with a phone.

The big takeaway: useful knowledge only matters if people can find it—and trust it.

We talk short videos, simple communication, research-based answers, and why something that feels routine to one person may be exactly what someone else needs to see.
