County Wins Most Wheat Show Awards at Alliance Event

Exhibitors voiced concern over a car shortage hindering shipment of a vast 1946 harvest, with farmers from Kimball, Cheyenne, Deuel, and Garden counties citing limited railcars and rising truck moves to Colorado.

Factors include ample soil moisture, quick harvests of 1946 crops enabling fall planting, ready seed and fertilizer supplies, and more farm machinery.
