The Mattsons Standing in Front of Their Wheat Field

Mattson Farms is a large scale, no-till, dry land, cereal grains farming operation. We are located north of Chester, Montana, situated between the Sweet Grass Hills and Tiber Dam Recreation Area. Since 1911 our farm has been 100% family owned and operated.

SEASONAL

Nov 15 2011

The 2011 Season began with record amounts of rainfall, however, come mid-June, the rain forgot to continue falling on Mattson Farms.

At the start of Spring we were unable to get into the fields they were so wet. Many farmers, including ourselves, faced disease problems, primarily Leaf Stripe Rust. We were forced to put down a spring fungicide application for the first time in our farm's history. The last time our area has expereienced rust probles was in the 1960's. The rust and the lack of rainfall after massive tillering, led our farm to an average to slightly above average production year. Harvest went quickly and smoothly thanks to our wonderful 2011 harvest crew.

Our 2012 Forcast: Our 2012 Winter Wheat crop was planted in dry soil, but did recieve adequate rainfall post-planting to get it up and growing. We are starting to get colder weather and pray the snow covers the plants for protection during our fridged winter months.

At Mattson Farms, we are excited to see the development of new markets for our grain sales. In particular, not one, but two new grain elevators going up in the town of Chester. It has not only been a boom to our small community, but we are excited about the savings associated with delivering our grain 15 miles rather than 50.
