Oklahoma farming began with Native American tribes who grew corn and hunted on the plains and prairies. European settlers brought cattle ranching and wheat farming to the state's grasslands. Oklahoma farmers learned to grow crops that could handle hot summers, cold winters, and sometimes drought conditions. The state became known for wheat, cattle, and pecans that grow well in the southern climate.
Oklahoma has rolling plains and prairies with soil that's good for wheat and grass for cattle. The eastern part of the state gets more rain and has hills and forests, while western Oklahoma is drier and flatter. The climate has hot summers and mild winters with enough rain for farming in most years. Rivers provide water for irrigation when needed.
Oklahoma strawberries are ready to pick in April and May when spring weather is perfect for being outdoors. You can pick peaches in summer when they ripen in the warm Oklahoma sun. Pecans fall from trees in October and November and are fun to gather for holiday baking. Some farms also grow apples, watermelons, and other fruits that visitors can pick.
Spring and early summer are great times to visit Oklahoma farms when strawberries and other crops are ripe and the weather is pleasant. Summer can be very hot, so early morning visits are more comfortable. Fall is good for pecan gathering and visiting farms when temperatures cool down. Oklahoma farms often raise cattle along with crops, so you might see both animals and plants.
April-May for strawberries, July-August for watermelons
