Wheat Yield Surpasses Expectations in Cheyenne County
With most winter wheat harvested, farmers report yields well above last year. Estimates average eighteen bushels per acre, while fields near A Walker farm yield twenty two to twenty five. Eastern sections show lower quality wheat, testing sixty two pounds per bushel, but Cheyenne County expects six million bushels from about 270000 acres, bringing up to ten million dollars into the county and boosting local prosperity.
