A lot of wheat growers just plow it under. Hay is a major crop though. This part of the state isn't suitable for wheat but there is a lot of hay. Generally they get two cuttings a year. https://www.americasheartland.org/state/montana/ Alfalfa hay fetches about $30 a ton over grass hay. Like any other commodity the price fluctuates quite a bit. I think alfalfa is $125 / ton currently. It's not the most lucrative crop but in farming you grow what you can grow.
