Wheat Varieties Project - Variety information is tabulated, summar- 

 ized and released by counties. Results of the survey aid producers in 

 determining acceptance trends for both established and new varieties. 



Grain Mode of Transportation Project - A quarterly reporting system 

 showing direction and mode of shipment of grain moving out of state has 

 been initiated. This information relating to marketing and general 

 geographical destination of the competing modes of transportation are 

 necessary for analysis of the impact of changing market shares and 

 freight rates on the Montana grain sector. 



Cattle Movement Project - This project provides a unique type of 

 market intelligence to livestock marketers. By Icnowlng how many Montana 

 cattle are sold, and when and where tliey are marketed, growers are better 

 able to increase their net income from direct sales. They have a sound 

 basis for determining when and where cattle are marketed. In addition, 

 buyers and feeders can readily locate sources of supplies of cattle.
