Great Falle Montana letter on farming life and wheat yields
A brief 1917 missive from A Pacey of Brimfield Illinois to Great Falls Montana recalls the News of May 17 and Jackson Reed’s modern farming gear. Pacey describes long days, the nine foot O'Brien barrow, and halftop tips, then reports Montana conditions since January 18 with delayed spring, abundant rain and sunshine, abundant land sales from east and west, wheat yields up to sixty bushels per acre, and Brimfield friends thriving in new homesteads on fertile prairie lands.
