Show Wheat Champions Victor P. Rasmussen (left) and Max J. Rasmussen, of Cache county coun-ty Utah, did not know they would be national wheat champions when this photo was taken on their 4,000 acre farm, between Cache Junction and Clarkston, Utah. The wheat, which Victor Rasmussen Ras-mussen is holding, is a sample of the crop from the 2,000 acres of wheat land, which is owned jointly by these two men and their brother Reuben, who was too busy farming that day to get in the picture. The Rasmussens' wheat, which was hard red winter of the Cache variety with a test weight of 64 pounds per bushel, took first place in the 8th annual Philip W. Pills-bury Pills-bury judging for best United States wheat raised in 1948. The grain competed with 37 samples from 20 other states when the judging was held in Minneapolis. The Rasmussens rotate their wheat crop on 4,000 acres of un-irrigated un-irrigated land. They are the sons of Philip H. Rasmussen, who won the state and national Pillsbury award in 1946. |
