Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-01

MONTANA FARMERS PRODUCED
an all-time record wheat crop of 114 174, 600
bushels, making the state second only to
Kansas. This production vastly eclipsed the
previous record of nearly 100000 bushels
set in 1851 and the 10-year average of U.s.
211 ,OOO The 1858 production total included
85,674000 bushels of spring wheat and 3D.
100000 bushels of winter wheat. Actually,
winter wheat production was slightly less
than that of 1852. A dry fall and dry, open
winter caused heavy winter wheat abandon
ment, but farmers took advantage of heavy

achieved the biggest wheat year in Montana

couraged fast movement of the crop and,
third, efficient handling of cars by the rail-
roads permitted rapid movement to the
markets.
Although their on-the-farm facilities
were already estimated to be more than
enough to take care of an average years
crop, farmers further increased their stor-
age space on an heroic scale. In one county
in eastern Montana alone federal loans were
made for financing construction of more
than 100000 bushels of new storage capac-
ity.
ACREAGE ALLOTMENTS and quotas
were imposed on 1854 production and mar
keting of wheat. Montana farmers joined
with others in the nation in voting over
whelmingly in favor of establishment of
quotas. In Montana the vote was 1888 for
and 827 against Thus the state vote was
95.4 per cent in favor of quotas. The ma

merial storage still bullying with the largest
holdover on record.
Much wheat was piled on the ground for
a short time, but scarcely kernel was lost.
Three factors operated to save the crop.
First, perfect fall weather permitted the
harvest of practically every acre of even the
latest grain and prevented deterioration of
grain that was piled or in temporary stor-
age. Second, existence of a strong cash
market for Montana's premium wheat en-
