Panhandle Wheat Boom Foresees Record Yields in 1926
In Stinnett and Lipscomb counties plus Hutchinson and Sherman, wheat yields should rival 1926's banner crop. Northern Texas Panhandle acreage nears 650 000 to 700 600, with rains pushing expected yields to about 15 000 000 bushels there. Barley and oats also promise unprecedented totals, with overall Panhandle production around 20 000 000 bushels. Estimated prices may reach 1 25 per bushel, boosting regional prosperity. Construction of the Rock Island extension from Stinnett to Grover proceeds with about 1 000 workers, aligning for the Amarillo Liberal line to handle 25 000 000 bushels yearly once complete.
