Crop survey and CowBelle scholarship headline Montana report
The Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting Service announces a mid October start for a major end of season survey to collect 1973 crop acreage and production data with results released December 10 for grains and mid January for late crops. The Montana CowBelle scholarship offers 300 dollars to a Montana girl pursuing higher education in home economics or agriculture. Harvest progress shows sugarbeets 20 percent done, potatoes 45 percent, dry beans 80 percent, flaxseed 65 percent, and 1974 winter wheat 85 percent planted as range conditions improve and marketing remains variable.
