YIELDS PER ACRE MONTANA WHEAT 



With the rapid growth of wheat acreage in Montana during the past twenty 

 years, and the growing proportion of the acreage that is non-irrigated, the 

 yearly averages of wheat yields per acre show a downward trend. This trend 

 is further emphasized by the period of abnormally low yields between 1917 and 

 1920. 



Graph on page 20 shows the yearly average yields per acre of spring wheat 

 in Montana and the ten year average each successive year. The downward trend 

 of the ten year average will in all probability be reserved as soon as the effect 

 of the 1917-1920 period is left behind.
