End of rent controls likely September 30
Early harvest reports from Cheyenne County say damp, muggy weather slows cutting as the first loads of new wheat arrive at Sidney elevators in poor condition. A load from a field near Wancal suffered about thirty percent damage, with test weights 58 to 59 pounds and high moisture, delaying storage. Harvest may shift to full swing early next week as rain and cooler conditions prevail.
