Hamburg Wheat Crop Sets Local Records This Year
Hamburg area farmers report very high yields with estimates around 50 to 67 bushels per acre. Vernal Anderson tallied over 67 bu acre south of Hamburg, Don Jennings 62 bu acre on gumbo ground near Belcher School, and local elevator men expect averages above 50 bu. Efficient moisture from snow cover and a dry May followed by a hot June boosted production and grain quality remained high despite a bit of rain.

Farmers urged to delay shelling corn to curb blight spread
The Department of Agriculture asks producers storing 1970 crop ear corn on farms to delay shelling to reduce blight spores. Fremont County ASCS chairman Robert Hume says those with farm storage loans who plan to shell or reveal corn won’t need to shell until after September 15, 1971. Delivery in loan liquidation may also delay until after that date.
