Cheyenne County farmers push winter wheat planting as September approaches. Seeding runs ahead on many farms with moisture aiding germination, though some areas await rain. Despite a 12 percent acres cutback under price support, 1970 wheat seeding may match last year as farmers overplant to ensure compliance.
