Fiber in Wheat, Weeds in Pastures & Uncertain Markets

Sunday, April 13, 2025

This week on SUNUP: 

  • Brett Carver , OSU wheat genetics chair, sits down with SUNUP host Lyndall Stout at Persimmon Hill Farm and Bakery for an in-depth conversation about the research underway to increase fiber in wheat.
  • Paul Beck , OSU Extension beef cattle specialist, says cattle will become less interested in hay and more interested in grazing  freshly grown weeds after a rain, but producers should continue with feeding hay and their supplementation programs.
  • In the  Mesonet  Weather Report , state climatologist Gary McManus discusses the recent rains and predicts warmer, wetter weather is on the way.
  • SUNUP previews the upcoming  OSU Extension’s pesticide disposal dates .
  • John Michael Riley , OSU agricultural economist, says tariffs will impact the soybean market more than the other grain commodities, though there is still a lot of uncertainty.
  • SUNUP has information on how to apply for the  Oklahoma Agricultural Leadership Program.
  • Finally, Mark Johnson, OSU Extension beef cattle breeding specialist, discusses the  management of horn flies this spring and summer.
