Rescuing High Protein Wheat From Snowy Winter
H J Cogan of Park County Montana completed belated 1925 threshing in two and a half feet of snow. He harvested 380 bushels of high grade protein wheat, dragging shocks to the thresher by sled over twenty days with neighbors aiding to avoid hired labor. The crop lingered into 1926 growth as early sprouts appeared nearby.
