Dr. Welsh further testified that a major problem 

 in the state's wheat research program is the lack of a 

 spring wheat breeding program. He said such program 

 would require funding of between $125,000 and $150,000 

 per year. 



Randy Johnson, Montana Grain Growers Association, 

 urged greater financial support for the Montana 

 Agricultural Experiment Station. He also stated that 

 the Montana Grain Growers Association did not welcome 

 legislative action to direct state agricultural 

 research activities.
