Even though year to year fluctuations in production have been significant, total wheat production has been mostly static the last two decades. For barley, production in 1990 was 3 percent below the 20-year average, down sharply from a year ago. Barley acreage increased dramatically during the early part of the 1980's but has been mostly decreasing since 1986. Montana's 1 990 crop season was characterized by abnormal dryness in the eastern third of the state and relatively good growing conditions elsewhere. • # 1990 ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY 1/ Year MONTANA U.S. Acreaae Production Season Avg.
