Teton Wheat Acreage Cut by Bad Weather Says County Agent
County Agent Robert Clarkson estimates Teton county spring wheat acreage in 1927 will be 20000 to 25000 acres less than 1926 due to prolonged wet weather. Much of the crop remains unseeded in irrigated and near Pendroy areas, with farmers delaying seeding to June 10 and considering flax or oats in place of wheat. The bulk of unseeded land lies in wetter districts while seeded areas like Bole Gap Power Dutton and Collins report good stands.
