Wheat prices and Cheyenne County farmers urged to hold steady
In Cheyenne County a market drop sees July wheat at 2.25 to 2.40 per bushel, tumbling to 1.30 to 1.40 as fear of dumpage looms. Farmers face hardships from stringent money, transport limits, and looming obligations, while banks strive to support harvests and prevent ruin of the county’s banner wheat industry. Governor Allen advocates federal probe into trade practices to aid growers. Local grain men and banks pledge cooperation to restore normalcy without excessive sacrifice.
