FLOYDADA – Wheat crops beginning to arrive at Producer’s Elevator are looking good, according to local officials.
“This year’s wheat crops that are coming in have really been good,” said Seth Stephens, Producer’s manager.
“The weights are better than we thought they would be, and the moisture levels are about perfect.”
Misty Leatherwood, weighing a test load for Dillon Chesshir said the test wheat weight was 61.9 and the moister level was 11.5 percent.
“We received our first load of wheat on Friday, May 29. Turner and Turner from Matador brought it in,” Stephens said.
