Abstract
For years, individual problems raised by the marketing of high-protein wheat have
been overlooked, or at best only mentioned in passing. But recently they have been investigated
in a study conducted at Montana State College by the Endowment and Research
Foundation under contract with the United States Department of Agriculture. This basic
survey included personal contacts with many producers, country and terminal elevator
operators, flour millers, and commission firms. The complete report, which is
due for release soon, analyzes supply responses, country elevator operations, and
demand conditions. It recommends changes designed to improve the handling of highprotein
wheat. The following article contains some of the highlights of the report. The
contribution is from Montana State College, Agricultural Experiment Station, and is
Paper No. 392, Journal Series.
