Yellowstone County Wheat Yields Spring From Drought
In Yellowstone county drought pockets yield surprising wheat results. Sheriff S W Matlock reports a 200 acre field near Broadview showing about 20 bushels per acre for winter wheat, a strong exception to the dry spell. Nearby C B Barr expects 15 bushels per acre as water remains scarce with only natural precipitation. The county as a whole may still reach about a fifty percent crop despite adverse conditions as threshing starts unusually 30 days earlier than normal.
