Crop Progress: Subsoil Drying Continues While Corn and Soybean Push Ahead

Favorable weather helped crop development in Nebraska last week, though not all crops are moving at the same pace. According to USDA NASS data for the week ending June 8, 2025, corn and soybean emergence is well ahead of last year, while sorghum planting and wheat harvest are trailing behind typical progress for this point in the season.

Nebraska experienced 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending June 8, 2025. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated 17% very short, 33% short, 48% adequate, and 2% surplus, while subsoil moisture was rated 27% very short, 41% short, 32% adequate, and 0% surplus.

Kansas Wheat Harvest is in full swing!
Join me near Preston, Kansas as this farm harvests its 2026 winter wheat crop with two new Gleaner S98 combines. One combine is equipped with a MacDon FD240 FlexDraper while the second runs a Gleaner (AGCO) draper head, giving viewers a chance to compare both harvesting setups in the same field.

Keeping the combines moving is a powerful Versatile 610 Delta Track pulling a tandem axle Brent 1598 grain cart, hauling wheat from the combines so harvest can continue without stopping.
If you enjoy modern farm equipment, wheat harvest, combines, grain carts, and seeing how farms operate across America, I think you'll enjoy this one.
