Lack of Soil Moisture Hampers Seeding
Of Winter Wheat in Many Areas of State
Ideal harvest conditions pre
vailed again last week throughout
Montana, according to the weekly
report of the Agricultural Market
ing Service at Helena. Small grain
harvest is about 85 per cent com
pleted, compared with about 70
per cent at this time last year.
Winter wheat seeding is slowly
getting under way in most parts.
Rain is badly needed statewide to
germinate winter wheat seedings,
with only parts of three counties
reporting adequate topsoil mois
ture supplies.
Haying is nearly done, with
only one-fourth of the second
cutting alfalfa left to be harvest
ed. Present supplies of range feed
are short in some counties and
becoming short in others.

moisture is delaying winter wheat
seeding throughout the state. Al
though germination of some early
seeded acreage has been satisfac
tory, rain is needed generally to
assure good stands and develop
ment of this crop.
Statewide, the following percent
ages of small grains have been
harvested: Winter wheat, 86; oats,
82; barley, 84; spring wheat, 86,
and flax 71.
Northern counties along the
Continental Divide are farthest be
hind, but progress will be fast if
good weather continues. Eastern
and central counties have finish
ed, except for a few small scatter
ed Etcreages- Some counties have
completed the flax harvest.
Cutting of second crop alfalfa
is progressing well in all parts of
the state with 75 per cent mowed
to date. Some counties have com
pleted the harvest and others have
just begun. Only about one-third
of Montana’s corn is expected to
mature for grain due to the late
season and farmers in eastern
counties have started making sil
age with the balance.
The dry bean harvest has be-
gun in most producing counties.
Yields are a little below normal,
due to late planting.
Statewide the average expected
starting date for the sugar beet
harvest is September 29. Opera
tions will be under way in some
counties on or about the 16th with
the majority planning to start
October 1.
Range feed supplies are gener
ally adequate to abundant.
