Expert Finds Grain Hopes Never Better in Oklahoma Wheat
Oklahoma's 1949 wheat crop looks like an all time record breaker with Health 104,734,000 bushels in 1947 cited as a comparison. C. W. Lane of the Santa Fe railroad reports strong acreage, good conditions, and a May 20 harvest start in north Texas moving into Oklahoma and Kansas by late June. Prospects are strong though late freezes, moisture gaps, rust and hail pose risks. Winter kill is low and corn planting is advancing while fruit prospects remain unusually good.
