No 376291, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: This geographical presentation of farm practices in growing wheat in the United States is based on reports obtained by the Bureau of Crop Estimates from about 7,000 farmers. Questionnaires were distributed to crop reporters in the wheat-growing regions, and the resulting reports cover practically every county in the United States where the wheat crop is of any importance.
