The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee reports that they’ve been out with producers and have returned with harvest numbers. Yields are being reported as anywhere from 40 to 85 bushels per acre, with some anomalies getting up to 120 bushels per acre. That said, while the yields have been high, protein counts have been averaging lower than normal, between half a point to a full point lower than Montana’s typical 11.8 average.

It's that time of year again when farmers are trying to harvest their crops. (Well, this has been going on for a while now, which is why I say my warning is tardy.) This means that there will be huge slow-moving pieces of equipment and machinery sharing the highways and roads with you. And when I say slow, I mean anywhere from 10 to 25 miles per hour. When you're driving 70 mph, you can come up on that combine/grain cart/hay baler very quickly. If you see the flashing hazard lights ahead of...
The harvest in Lustre is going full swing, and folks are enjoying the last two weeks of summer holidays for their students.
