Uintah County Wheat Checks Distributed in Vernal
Approximately $2000 in wheat checks have been received by Treasurer Archie Johnson. All farmers must come to Vernal to sign for their checks, large or small, due to the absence of a farm agent who would deliver in person. Some checks are worth less than the travel cost, and this approach applies to barley, dairying, beef cattle, bog corn, and other stabilizing projects.
