Grain Crops in
County Short
With grain harvest expected to
be completed the first of Septem
ber, approximately 1,500,000 bus
hels of wheat and 350,000 bushels
of bailey are stored in Morrow
County Grain Growers elevator,
manager Al Lamb has reported.
Although total grain handled
is down a million bushels from
last year, wheat yields averaged
19 bushels per acre, which com
pares to the 23 bushel average
county yield over a long time per
iod. Wheat yields are down
about 20 per cent compared to a
bumper harvest of a 24 bushel
per acre average last year, Lamb
pointed out.
Most wheat averaged 58 to 59
pounds, or No. 2 quality, with
some first grade and some third
grade received in company ware
houses. Yields were spotty with
some fields in the north end down
to 10 bushels per acre while
others in the Blackhorse, Clarks
Canyon and Ruggs district pro
duced 40 bushels or better.
Barley production which aver
aged 14 bushels per acre com
pared to 30 bushels last year,
dropped about 50 per cent this
year, making the heaviest short
age In the overall grain picture,
Lamb said. Barley averaged
slightly over the 40 pound gov
ernment loan minimum require
ment. With only a few thousand acres
left to harvest, grain is still be
ing delivered at Ruggs, Heppner,
and a small amount at Lexing
ton. Deliveries at lone, McNabb
and North Lexington are com
pleted. All wheat is being stored
