Minnesota and North Crop Failure Predicted in Wheat Belt
Grain merchants warn the western Canadian wheat crop may fail this year as seeding ends and hay delays limit harvest. Rail receipts for three weeks in June total 4 533 cars vs 1 341 last year, with inspections at 60 107 250 bushels. About seven million bushels remain in farmers hands amid rising western oat values and late rain failing to save late sown crops. Harvest unlikely before September 10, and a bumper crop seems improbable.
