Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Credit in a Southern Great Plains Drought Area: A Study of Cimarron and Texas Counties, Okla., 1950-54 Average annual production of sorghum grain in the area in 1950-54 has been well above the annual average in 1940-49, although average yields per acre were about the same in the two periods. As the acreage of wheat seeded but not harvested increased in the 1950-54 period, the acreage seeded to grain sorghums generally increased also. Grain sorghums are Often seeded on abandoned wheat acreages when moisture conditions in late Spring and early summer are favorable. The increased production Of sorghum grain in 1950-54, which resulted from exceptional yields in 1950 and 1951 and the increase in acreage seeded, has tended to alleviate the adverse effects of drought and lower prices on the financial position Of agriculture in the area.
