Wheat Progress In Western Nebraska And Colorado
Wheat crops in western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado are greening across the plains as planting began about two weeks ago. Farmers seek more moisture but follow seed dates closely. Recent showers aided growth while a cold snap kept grasshoppers in check. Prospects hinge on moisture before dormancy. Nebraska's 1970 harvest is expected to be the fourth largest in state history due to irrigated corn yields and strong small grain production despite drought cutbacks in dryland corn, sorghum, soybeans, and hay. Hay production is estimated at 5,898,000 tons, below last year, with alfalfa yield at 2.2 tons per acre versus 2.7 last year.

Less Wheat Under Loan by Farmers in 1970
Agriculture Department says about one fourth less of the 1970 wheat crop was placed under government price support loans by Aug 31 than on the same date in 1969. High loan costs and tight credit push farmers to quick cash, reducing loan filings despite higher cash market prices in parts of the wheat belt.
