Farmers protest misrepresentation of the crop as official returns from 50 Cass county towns show reduced acreage due to summer fallowing and diversification. In Red River valley counties yields are spotty with many fields yielding 6 to 15 bushels and some failures, while western areas have less than a third of a crop.
