Montana farm front reports mixed conditions and new grading plan
Seasonal weather in Montana improved soil moisture and range grass condition while winter wheat growth lagged and sugar beet harvest made little progress. Farmers are urged to consult the local ASCS on Soil Bank changes affecting planting. Montana Christmas trees may adopt federally standardized grades this year. A registered Aberdeen Angus heifer won the grand champion at Huntley Project, and Holly Sugar forecast a record 1957 beet harvest in Hardin and Sidney, projected at 470000 tons.
