Dried Hoppers Seen as Prime Chicken Feed in Montana
Investigators report dried grasshoppers contain about 75 percent protein and are more valuable than meat scrap sold at six cents a pound. Monroe Greenwood of Charlot on the Flathead Indian Reservation stored 5600 pounds in 16 sacks, catching them with a machine built at St Ignatius. He notes early morning operation yields best results, with drying and curing producing a concentrated winter feed, potentially offsetting machine costs if hoppers become plentiful again.
