Heavy Wheat Straw Baling Shifts to National Shipments
In Cheyenne County balers harvest tall wheat stubble, cut and bale hundreds of bales. Straw goes to mills for paper and strawboard, feeders across the country, or to farmers in exchange for remaining bales. Some shipments go by rail and truck, with tonnage rising this year due to bumper wheat. Local plans to process here falter because water limits and distance to markets deter factory siting.

J C Swinbank of the Nebraska Extension says Hudson and B-475 winter barleys fail to meet Nebraska winter hardiness. Hudson, a new eastern variety, showed good yields only if winter survival occurred and is less hardy than Ward and Reno. B-475, from Missouri, is not recommended north of St. Joseph. Nebraska tests discontinued.
