OSU Agronomy Farm: What Changes, What Stays
One of Oklahoma agriculture’s most recognizable pieces of ground is entering a new chapter—but the research farmers depend on is not being paved over. Oklahoma State University’s new veterinary teaching hospital is expected to be built on the footprint now occupied by buildings at the Agronomy Research Station in Stillwater. That announcement raised understandable concerns about the future of the farm, its teaching plots and long-term experiments, including research that has been underway for more than a century. In this episode of Red Dirt Agronomy, OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences head Wade Thomason Ph.D. joins Dave Deken, Brian Arnall Ph.D. and Josh Lofton Ph.D. to separate settled decisions from questions that are still being worked through. The historic Magruder Plots and other irreplaceable long-term fertility research are being protected. OSU also expects to retain much of the main research ground, although approximately 20 to 50 acres used by other programs may need to be recreated nearby. The change also creates an opportunity to replace aging buildings with modern greenhouses, field laboratories, shared seed and sample-processing areas, improved research storage and a producer-friendly education center. That center could provide a new home for soil, water and forage testing as well as plant disease and insect diagnostics. For Oklahoma producers, this is more than a construction story. It is about preserving unbiased crop research, strengthening Extension services, improving wheat and crop breeding, giving students meaningful field experience, and making the university’s diagnostic resources easier to use. The current target is to move agronomy operations into their new facilities during the summer of 2028, although final land and funding decisions remain in progress.

What This Wheat Year Taught Farmers
This week on the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall Ph.D., and Josh Lofton Ph.D. sit down with Amanda Silva Ph.D., Oklahoma State University Extension small grains specialist, to unpack one of the toughest Oklahoma wheat seasons in recent memory. The conversation follows the crop from dry planting conditions through warm winter development, cool grain fill, scattered April rains, wheat streak mosaic pressure, and the uneven results showing up across variety trials from southwest Oklahoma to the Panhandle. The biggest lesson is that this year did not come down to one simple answer. Moisture timing drove much of the story, but planting date, variety maturity, stand establishment, disease pressure, and trial variability all shaped what producers saw in the field. Silva also explains why stressful seasons still matter for research: even when yields disappoint, Oklahoma’s wheat trials can reveal which management choices and varieties hold together when conditions get rough.

Oklahoma Crops: Small Isn’t Bad
After a dry start to the season, June rain and cooler weather have changed the outlook for Oklahoma summer crops. In this episode of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, Dave Deken checks in with Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D., on soybean size, corn pollination, sorghum development, double crop decisions after early wheat harvest, forage needs, and where fertility dollars may make the most sense right now. Josh explains why smaller soybean and sorghum plants may not be a bad thing in Oklahoma dryland systems, especially if July turns hot and dry. Brian walks through nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, lime, and fertilizer market considerations, then shares observations from a recent agronomy trip to Brazil. The group also previews the Chickasha Summer Crop Demo Day, a hands-on OSU Extension event focused on scouting, soil pits, spray nozzles, nitrate testing, summer crops, and practical field decisions.
