Harvest Likely Late This Season In Wheat Belt
Oklahoma City May S. Indications point to harvest starting late as harvest labor supplies may fall short. Assistant Tabor Commissioner Murphy says farmers in the wheat belt expect to hire at daily wages around 2.80 to 3 per day, with many laborers preferring $2.40 and higher. Harvest could stretch from two weeks to over a month late in most areas, with the Red River region and Panhandle among the last to begin. Mechanization and outside labor attraction will influence overall labor demand as machines reduce job needs and rail costs deter out-of-area workers.
