Montana grain harvests show strong spring yields and western stock water stress
The 1969 winter wheat crop is nearly in the bin with only about ten percent left in the northwestern and southwestern districts. Spring wheat harvest is eighty percent complete and yields are above average with good protein and test weight. Barley and oats are eighty percent harvested with generally higher than average yields and good quality, though some ergot noted. Topsoil moisture is short statewide, several fires were controlled, and stockwater remains adequate though some sources have dried up. Cattle and sheep moved from summer ranges remain within normal postures for this period.
