PERCENTAGE OF CROPS SOLD 



Varying percentages of crops produced are sold yearly for cash, the amount 

 sold varying with changes in production. As a rule the percentage retained on 

 farms for seed, feed and other consumption is fairly constant. Reporters are 

 asked during the season to estimate the percentage of various crops sold or to 

 be sold for shipment out of the county where grown. With this information as 

 a basis, combined with the experience of past years as to amounts of crop pro- 

 duction moving out of Montana in commercial channels, the following estimates
