Montana Farmers Plan Fall in Spring Wheat Acreage in 1930
Montana farmers expect a 3.7 percent drop in spring wheat acreage for 1930 from 1929. Plans show 3,405,000 acres to be planted versus 3,644,000 harvested in 1929 and 3,877,000 planted for the 1929 crop, with offsets in flaxseed, corn, oats, barley, potatoes, and tame hay rising in acreage. The report notes aims to restore feed reserves and offset weak wheat markets, while overall crop plans remain tied to equipment and labor limits.
