Montana farmers expect the smallest winter wheat crop since 1941 due to low moisture and minimal snow cover. About 1.4 million acres were planted, 12 percent below last year and 100000 acres under 1965. Agronomists warn long subzero spells could heavily damage crops without snow insulation.

Cattle Prices Seen Rising Slower in 1998 Outlook
Kansas State expert James Mintert cautions that fed cattle prices may rebound in 1998 but at a slower pace, hinging on marketing weights. He notes December to January slaughter remains light, signaling feeders hold cattle on feed longer. Western Kansas steers could average 65 to 68 dollars in Q1 1998, rising to 67 to 71 in spring as weights peak later in the year.
