Government crop report forecasts biggest wheat yield since 1918
The Agricultural Department forecast the winter wheat harvest could approach the 1918 peak, with 47.41 million of 57.19 million seeded acres likely to remain for harvest. Losses, mainly from drought in the great plains and Pacific northwest, push expected acreage loss over 17 percent, versus 24 percent last year. Spring work delayed by weather, drought-strained livestock and feed reserves, yet demand for farm products rises.

Livestock Feed Remains Scarce in Montana Regions
Helena May 10. Cold late April weather delayed range grass growth and boosted the need for supplemental feeding across Montana. Ranges stood at 64 percent of normal in April, below 1936 levels, with drought areas of central and eastern Montana facing very poor pastures. Hay stocks statewide were only 3.5 percent of 1936 production, the lowest since 1920.
