Wheat farming and big gamble on North Dakota crops
Rex Willard of North Dakota Agricultural College warned at a college conference that wheat farming remains high risk. He cited a 44 chance out of 100 that a planted acre will reach maturity and urged reduced wheat area, higher yields, and more diversified crops with livestock to spread risk. Figures from 185 farms show costs per acre and per bushel, labor needs, and the potential profitability of potatoes, corn, and mixed farming.
