Combine drivers see nothing but long hours of wat-
ching wheat being cut as harvest gets into its peak.
Many area farmers were hailed out and have opted not
to cut wheat due to the great losses.
♦ Hustlin' Hereford,
Homa of Mario Cline
There's good news and bad news about the IMS wheat
harvest
The good news is that, of those farmers who didn't get
hailed out, the yield is good.
The bad news is that the price is about 43 percent of
parity
"Every combine available is cutting wheat," accor-
ding to John Fuston of the ASCS office here. Fusion add-
ed that some farmers are not even bothering to harvest,
because hail damaged more than estimated.
About 30 percent of the crop is harvested, according to
Fuston.
"Dryland has been excellent," he said, noting that
some yields have been 35-plus.
Reports from Bootleg give an average of about 30
bushels an acre, considered very good for dryland.
Weight reports from that area are ranging near 01 and
62 pounds.
At Dawn, harvest is considered to be about 40 percent
complete, with weight running 58 to 60 and some loads
even higher
Prices early this week were near $2.93 a bushel
Fuston said the price was at about 43 percent parity. He
said a recent article he read set prices in the Depression
Era at 50 to 52 percent of parity.
