Why is spring wheat grown in the states of Montana North Dakota and South Dakota?

Spring wheat is grown in the states of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota because the winters are too cold to support the higher-yielding winter wheat. In the winter wheat belt, centered near Kansas, winter wheat is planted in the late fall, sprouts, and is protected from cold temperatures by the snow. However, the temperatures of the spring wheat belt are too cold for the winter wheat to survive through the winter, so spring wheat is grown instead. It is planted in the early spring, grows through the summer, and is harvested in the fall. Spring wheat does not produce as high a yield as winter wheat and so must be grown on larger farms in order to be economical.
