Montana winter wheat crop trimmed to 49.985 million bushels
The Montana Bureau of Agricultural Economics lowers its winter wheat forecast to 49.985 million bushels or 87 percent of 1945 output, noting moisture shortfalls and a shift from wartime yields. Oats and barley forecasts dip slightly, hay trails last year, and range conditions vary by region while home gardens expand. The piece also warns of possible poultry declines due to seed availability and promotes optimizing egg production.

Poultry Feed Substitutions to Maintain Laying Flocks
Harriette Cushman of Montana State College advises substitutes for scarce poultry feed. If wheat is unavailable, mix 65 to 70 percent of grain with oats barley proso and rye free of ergot. Ground grains green feed and milk may replace mash. green feed saves cost but may darken yolks. Provide 3–4 gallons of milk per 100 hens and change feeds slowly to avoid production loss.
