However, timely moisture, higher prices, and a general feeling of optimism during this, our centennial year, have resulted in a much improved economic picture in Montana Agriculture. The dedication and hard work of farm and ranch business men and women will continue to have a profound impact on the state as we enter into the 1990's. Access to information necessary to make sound business decisions certainly compliments our efforts to improve the business environment in our great state. It is my belief that the information provided through the private-public relationship that has developed with respect to the collection of the agricultural statistics contained in this bulletin is a valuable element of success in the business of agriculture. These statistics help agricultural producers evaluate alternatives and make informed decisions, putting them on a more equal footing in the markets with which they must deal. As Governor, my goal is to see Montana prosper, paramount to economic growth. A strong agricultural industry is Sincerely, Stan Stephens Governor Montana Acricui.turai.

MON I VS \ ^'>ft2llli:ill TELEPHONE: (4004443144 FAX (406) 444.S409 EVERETT M.SNORTLAND DIRECTOR MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The statistics presented in this years agricultural statistics bulletin vividly depict the 1988 drought. Statewide statistics reflect the fact that crop and livestock production in virtually all of Montana v^as affected by the lack of moisture. Fortunately, crop insurance and other government assistance programs combined with improved prices to offset some of the financial loss that would have otherwise been incurred. This buffer helped producers get through a tough period and in position to benefit from this years much more favorable weather/production conditions. As a business, agriculture faces many uncontrollable factors. The influences that result in the dynamic nature of our industry make access to reliable information an essential aspect of conducting business. The information found in this bulletin can help reduce some of the uncertainties and facilitate more informed decisions. Sincerely, Everett Snortland Director 4 Foreword 1989 Montana Agricultural Statistics NOTES FROM THE STATE STATISTICIAN We are pleased and proud to present to the citizens of Montana this special Centennial Edition of Montana Agricultural Statistics. This twenty-sixth volume continues a series of data measuring Montana's agricultural production dating back to 1867--22 years prior to statehood. Montana's image was built upon cattlemen and cowboys. Beef production was the first agricultural enterprise in Montana. The cattle industry developed to support the hearty appetites of the miners, then expanded to feed a rapidly growing nation. A look back to 1889 shows Montana's cattle herd numbered 1,050 thousand head. That's less than half of the 2,350 thousand head on hand January 1, 1989. Montana farmers harvested only 26 thousand acres of wheat in 1889 compared with 5,435 thousand acres in 1989. Sheep outnumbered cattle back in '89. The 1,857 thousand head on hand January 1, 1889 were over three times the 568 thousand on hand this year. We appreciate the excellent cooperation provided by Montana farmers, ranchers, and agri- businessmen who voluntarily contributed to this publication by answering survey questionnaires. Thanks also to our dedicated staff of statisticians, support personnel, and field and phone enumerators who collected and summarized this information. A special thanks to Wendy Bruski who had overall responsibility for layout, design, and conversion of this year's bulletin to laser print technology and to Ron Schumacher and Bonnie Heller who prepared the maps and graphs.

The Director oversees the department's four divisions and nine bureaus. The function of each division is summarized below. The Centralized Services Division performs technical, fiscal, and administrative support functions for the department. Responsibilities of the division include activities for internal operations of the department. The Environmental Management Division is responsible for the registration of 4,700 pesticide products; the training, certification and licensing of 1,257 commercial and government applicators, 878 operators, 544 pesticide dealers, and 7,538 private applicators. The division is also responsible for enforcement of the pesticide act and rules; providing technical environmental services to agriculture; providing an evaluation of pest management problems and programs; and providing analytical laboratory and consultative services to other agencies and the public. The Vertebrate Pest Management program provides on-site demonstrations, educational materials and technical bulletins to assist producers in reducing damage caused by field rodents, birds and other larger mammals. The Weed Control program is responsible for administering statewide efforts aimed at control and/or eradication of noxious and other weeds. The Plant Industry Division is responsible for the administration and enforcement of regulatory laws controlling the production, manufacturing, and marketing of agricultural commodities exported fi-om or distributed within Montana.

The State Hail Insurance program insures any type of crop growing in Montana from losses caused by hail damage. The Marketing Program is responsible for market enhancement and development through direct market development activities and through grants and seed capital investments in new/innovative marketing and product developments. Statewide agricultural statistics and projections are developed through a Federal/State cooperative agreement administered through the division, which are made available through a comprehensive agricultural statistics bulletin and grain movement summary along with other production, price, and income reports. The division is also responsible for promoting and encouraging intensive scientific and practical research in all phases of wheat culture, production, and marketing under the guidelines and policies developed by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee. Montana Agricultural Statistics 1 989 General 7 MONTANA CROP, LIVESTQCK, AND WEATHER DIGEST, 1988 JANUARY: A warm and very dry month with no snow cover. Wind damage to winter wheat was light. The crop was in mostly fair condition. Grazing was open in most areas. FEBRUARY: Mild temperatures continued. Precipitation varied with much of central Montana receiving above normal amounts. The west and southwest were dry. Winter wheat was mostly in fair to good condition. Grazing, difficult at mid-month, was mostly open at month's end. MARCH: Temperatures were above normal. Precipitation was varied with most areas receiving less than normal. Winter wheat remained in mostly fair to good condition. Wind damage was light to moderate. APRIL: A very dry month. Soil moisture was mostly short in all areas. Seeding was ahead of normal, but emergence was slow. Hay and range grass growth was severely retarded. MAY: Drought worsens. Winter wheat headed out in the driest areas. About one-third of the spring crop was very poor to poor, two-thirds fair to good. Stockwater shortages were widespread. Some ranges remained dormant. Weather warm and dry. JUNE: Drought became critical. About three-fourths of all crops and ranges in very poor to poor condition. Weather mostly hot and dry. JULY: Showers the first week gave a brief respite from the drought, but then a steady deterioration developed to month's end. Grain harvest started well ahead of normal because of drought-induced maturity. Livestock feed and stockwater shortages became critical. AUGUST: Heat and drought continued in spite of widespread but localized showers. Winter wheat seeding delayed. Nearly all small grain crops harvested. About half of all livestock moved off of summer ranges. SEPTEMBER: Cool weather and rains started about mid-month which gave encouragement for winter wheat seeding. By month's end soil moisture shortages had been eased in two- thirds of the state. Livestock movement from summer ranges slowed. OCTOBER: Winter wheat seeding was completed during the first two weeks. Harvesting of row crops was completed well ahead of normal. The month ended with soil moisture supplies nearly 60% short. Emerged winter wheat condition was mostly fair to good. NOVEMBER: Soil moisture shortages continued. Snowfall at mid-month provided protection for winter wheat but slowed grazing. Weather was mostly warm and dry. DECEMBER: Soils remained dry although precipitation was above normal. Temperatures were mostly warm. Winter wheat was in fair to good condition. Hay and stubble fields were open for grazing. 8 General 1989 Montana Agricultural Statistics CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA: Temjgeratures^lS^ Precipitation and Number of Days Between Freezing COUNTY & DISTRICT STATIONS Deer Lodge ....
