Crop Acreage for 1928 to Rise Three Percent
A 1928 planting outlook from Montana State College indicates about a 3 percent rise in principal crop acreage from 1927, with a shift from hard spring wheat to other grains and a 12 percent uptick in potato acreage. Durum and hard red spring wheat prospects hinge on yields and price spreads while flax shows a 14 percent rise. Beans face cautious expansion amid tight supplies and improving prices.
