Nebraska Wheat Yield Seen Jumping 90 Million Bushels
Burlington railroad experts forecast Nebraska will produce about 90 million bushels of wheat this year, a gain of 20 million over 1913.

Corn prospects are weaker due to reduced planting, as farmers shift to other grains and meadows. corn remains in good condition where field conditions allow, but acreage is down from recent years.
