Wheat Harvest Nears Peak in Sumner County
Sumner County agriculturists report the 1970 wheat harvest moving into full swing with potential for a top crop.

Local grainmen expect 30 to 50 bushels per acre as farmers rush to cut, with prices about 1.14 to 1.17 dollars per bushel depending on moisture. Barley harvest also slated for Wednesday, noted as one of the region’s largest crops with average yields near 70 bushels per acre if weather cooperates.
