The information contained in this bulletin assists agricultural producers in evaluating alternatives and in making informed decisions within a dynamic industry. Ensuring access to desired and useful information is part of our effort to improve the business environment in our great state. Increasingly, today's agriculture is becoming a complex, technologically advanced business, one that requires sophisticated management, marketing, and investment decisions. The agricultural statistics bulletin helps Montana producers capitalize on opportunities and become more competitive in the markets with which they must deal. Through the dedication and persistence of agricultural business people, our state's number one industry has endured many difficulties. Montana producers continue to provide consumers with an abundance of excellent quality products. Enhanced opportunities for agricultural products processed in Montana have functioned to create and maintain jobs. This places more value on our excellent agricultural products. With our exceptional high quality products, we will continue to make agriculture the economic basis of Montana. Stan Stephens Governor 1992 Montana Agricultural Statistics Foreword 3 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Considering the economic and climatic adversities facing our agricultural industry today, it is essential that relevant statistical information be available to producers and agriculturally related businesses. The dynamic nature of the agricultural business environment challenges Montana producers to make quality decisions. These decisions are a product of concise and reliable information. The statistics found in this bulletin will help reduce uncertainties, facilitate more informed decisions and enable Montana agriculture to project a positive position with respect to the future use of our land and other resources. Montana's economic foundation is agriculture, its largest and most important industry. It is the foundation that allows our farmers and ranchers to readily adapt to changes in the industry. The continual changes that occur in agriculture make access to accurate information an essential aspect of conducting business. With relevant and timely information, Montana producers can advance in areas such as biotechnology, world markets, and better quality products of added value. It is essential that Montana's agricultural industry be prepared to capitalize on these advances. Sincerely, q^OmlM Everett M. Snortland Director 4 Foreword Montana Agricultural Statistics 1992 NOTES FROM THE STATE STATISTICIAN This year's edition of "Montana Agricultural Statistics" marks the twenty-ninth year that we have issued this publication for use by Montana's agricultural community. A big thank you is owed all of Montana's farmers, ranchers and agri-businessmen for their willingness to provide the basic information that is the foundation of all of these estimates. Without their continued support this publication would not be possible. Since cattle and calf production is the largest single enterprise in Montana's number one industry, agriculture, we chose to highlight that segment on our bulletin cover this year. Producers in the Treasure State faced many difficulties this past year. The crop year started out very dry, then in June it turned wet and cool, aphids and weeds became a problem in many areas of the state and to top it off we received several inches of snow during the latter part of August in many locations. Despite all of these problems, Montana's producers persevered. As you look over this report, please feel free to pass on your comments and suggestions. Again, thank all of you for your support. Thanks also to our staff of statisticians, technicians and enumerators who are dedicated to providing Montana 's agriculture with high quality statistics. A special thank you to Wendy Bruski, who had overall responsibility for the layout, design, and production of this report. James K.

Does your tractor have the correct amount of tire slip? Is the front-to-rear weight split proper on your 4X4 tractor? Do your tractor tires have correct inflation pressures? Does your tractor ride rough or have power hop problems Are you wasting fuel and drastically reducing your power train life? Are you putting horsepower to work? In response to the needs of farm machinery owners, a team of faculty at Northern Montana College in Havre, Montana, is establishing a tractor resource center. The center will provide in-the-field agricultural tractor testing, set-up, agricultural tractor/equipment clinics, and collect and disseminate tractor and equipment performance information. The Center's main goal will be to assist agricultural producers in putting horsepower to work. The center v^ll be affiliated with Northern Montana College, which has a mission of applied technology and the center will work closely v^dth the Alberta Farm Machinery Research Centre (AFMRC) in Lethbridge, Alberta. AFMRC has an established reputation as a testing center for agricultural implements and equipment and is in close proximity to Havre, Montana. The Resource Center will network with equipment manufacturers, dealers, the extension service and others to cooperatively provide a unique service for farmers throughout the region. pr( exl prf pei (m rer spl (s: eqi NC tra Wf NC k Ad Fir 1 992 Montana Agricultural Statistics General 7 Resource Center activities will result in improved agricultural tractor and machinery performance and help maximize net returns for Montana and Alberta prairie region farmers through savings on repair, maintenance, and fuel. The Center will also provide opportunities for Northern Montana College technology students. Resource Center and AFMRC personnel have developed an on-board data acquisition package allowing dynamic in-field tractor performance testing. The instrumentation consists of: (1) A lap-top computer for on-board data acquisition; (2) A 50,000 pound load cell for measuring draft; (3) Two radar guns for measuring wheel and ground speeds; (4) An accelerometer for measuring bounce (ride characteristics); (4) An electronic tachometer for engine rpm; (5) Various gauges for monitoring engine performance; (6) Portable electronic platform scales for determining tractor weight and front and rear weight splits; (7) A dynamic fuel consumption device (being developed). Tractors are instrumentated and then a series of runs are made at varied implement depths and in selected gear and rpm ranges. The on-board data acquisition package records all information dynamically at five times per second and each run is recorded on disk. A discussion will be held with each operator on field speeds, cultivator depth, gear selection, etc. The center will be sensitive to the specific farming methods of each individual producer. Tests will be conducted at the farm site with the farmer's implement so the tractor performance is tuned for the conditions it vAW be working in. Drawbar horsepower v^U be calculated from each run and the results compared wdth typical engine horsepower and tractor weight performance levels. Ballast amounts, weight distribution, tire pressures and other variables can be adjusted and modified to improve tractive performance. Engines and drive train components will be checked prior to testing to be sure they are capable of performing properly. Areas of consideration are: fuel quality, fuel restriction and the fuel system, air intake and exhaust gas restriction, blowrby, idle and no-load high idle rpm, fluid levels and leaks, turbo boost pressures, tire pressures and cooling system integrity. Tractors are subjected to maximum performance levels of drawbar horsepower and tractive effort during the test procedure. Tractor center services may include: (1) The locating and isolating of mechanical problems (minor repairs may be immediately made but major repairs must be arranged); (2) Liquid ballast removal and replacement; (3) In-field weighing for proper total tractor weight and front to rear splits; (4) Tire pressure management based on the tractor's static load, with emphasis on radial tires; (5) Computerized in-field testing and report summaries; (6) Adjusting and modifying tractors and equipment for optimum performance. NOTE: Northern Tractor Resource personnel should be available to test and customize agricultural tractors during the spring and summer of 1993. Center coordinators (Greg Clouse, Lynn Stilger, Tom Welch) can be reached at Northern Montana College, Havre, MT 59501 or called at (406) 265-3700. NOTE: Development monies and other tractor center resources were provided by: Montana Wheat & Barley Committee, Montana Growth Through Agriculture Program, Economic Development Administration, BearPaw Development, Burlington Northern Railroad, First Security Bank of Havre, First Bank of Havre and Bank of Montana of Havre, Northern Montana College and the Alberta Farm Machinery Research Centre. 8 General Montana Agricultural Statistics 1992 MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture, through the Director, is responsible for administration of a $6.5 million annual budget with 89 full-time and 10 seasonal FTE. The Director oversees the department's five divisions and nine bureaus. The function of each division is summarized below. Central Management Division performs technical, fiscal, and administrative support functions for the department. Responsibilities of the division include activities for internal operations of the department. State Grain Laboratory Division is located in Great Falls, operating the only official USDA-FGIS state grain grading laboratory in the State of Montana. The lab provides unbiased grain grading, analytical services, and oil seed analysis to the state's grain industry. Agriciiltural and Biological Sciences Division is responsible for the registration of 5,200 pesticide products; the training, certification and licensing of 1,446 commercial and government applicators, 1,138 operators, 502 pesticide dealers, and 8,000 private applicators. The division is also responsible for providing an evaluation of pest management problems and programs; training and licensing of government and commercial pesticide applicators and dealers; and providing analytical laboratory and consultative services to other agencies and the public. The passage of the Montana Agricultural Chemical Ground Water Protection Act (1990) provides that the department will protect ground water and the environment from impairment or degradation due to the use of agricultural chemicals. 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 large mammals. The Weed Management program is responsible for administering statewide efforts aimed at control and/or eradication of noxious and other undesirable 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 division investigates consumer complaints; performs technical expertise and licenses for 650 nurseries, 530 feed dealers, 215 fertilizer dealers, 315 seed dealers, and 195 grain merchandisers. The division also registers some 4,500 commercial feed products and 1,400 fertilizers, and 5,000 bee yards. The Agriciiltural Development Division is responsible for administering programs directed at promoting and enhancing Montana agriculture. The Agriculture Finance program is responsible for making grants and lower interest-rate loans for rural youth, rural youth organizations, and other qualified farmers and ranchers. The State Hail Insurance program insures any type of crop grown in Montana ft-om losses caused by hail damage. The Marketing Program is responsible for market enhancement and development through direct market development activities, grants, seed capital loan investments in new/innovative marketing, and product development. 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. Research and market development efforts are promoted for alfalfa seed through the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee. The division is 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. Similar research and market development efforts are promoted for alfalfa seed through the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee. 1992 Montana Agricultural Statistics General 9 MONTANA CROP, LIVESTOCK, AND WEATHER DIGEST, 1991 JANUARY: Soils in the plains remained niostly dry, and most of the snow cover was in the eastern third of the state. Above normal temperatures melted the snow pack in the winter wheat areas, but very little wind damage occurred. The warmer temperatures opened grazing in many locations with roughly a third of the area open to grazing for the month. FEBRUARY: Winter wheat broke dormancy a little ahead of normal due to warmer temperatures. The condition of the crop was somewhat poor due to inadequate moisture in the fall and freeze damage in December. The soils remained mostly dry during the month. Grazing was mostly open. MARCH: The month was warm and dry with soils in most areas short of both topsoil and subsoil moisture. Very little freeze damage to wdnter wheat occurred. Calving and lambing was continuing under ideal conditions. APRIL: Field tillage and small grain seeding started at the usual time with mostly dry soils at the beginning of the month. By the end of the month, soil moisture was much improved and seeding was on schedule with about half the acreage in the ground. MAY: Small grain seeding fell behind normal at mid-month as rain and cool temperatures prevailed. By the end of May seeding was only slightly behind normal, but emergence was delayed by cool temperatures. JUNE: June was cool and wet. This promoted good growth and development of crops, but made early hay harvest difficult. JULY: The weather turned warm and dry providing good haying conditions. Small grains were mostly good to excellent, and winter wheat harvest began at the end of the month. AUGUST: Winter wheat harvest neared completion at month's end, slightly behind schedule because of heavy yields and scattered showers. Harvest of other small grains was near the normal pace to slightly behind normal. Crop conditions were mostly good to excellent. SEPTEMBER: Topsoil moisture was mostly short the first half of the month, but improved with later rains. Winter wheat seeding by months end was ahead of normal. Other small grain harvest was virtually complete, slightly ahead of normal. OCTOBER: Most of the month was warm and dry allowing late season crops to be harvested under good conditions. The last week of the month brought sudden change to cold and wet. NOVEMBER: Extreme cold early in November caught winter wheat v^th little or no snow cover protection. Supplemental feeding of livestock was ushered in earlier than usual as snow limited grazing at mid-month. DECEMBER: Warm, dry weather left winter wheat without snow protection, but opened grazing in most areas.

This decrease was most apparent in the wheat and feed grain categories. These two commodities contributed 78 percent of Montana's exports. Value of United States agricultural exports for the year ending September 30 totaled $37,609.0 million, down 6 percent from the previous year. Wheat and feed grain products accounted for 27 percent of the nation's agricultural exports. Montana ranked seventh among all states in the export of wheat and wheat products in fiscal year 1991 compared with fifth place last year. North Dakota moved into the top position, followed by Kansas, Washington, Oklahoma, Idaho and Minnesota. California remained the top exporting state of all products, followed by Iowa, Illinois, Texas, and Nebraska. While bulk products such as wheat, coarse grains, and soybeans declined in fiscal year 1991, U.S. exports of high value agricultural products set a new record of $20.4 billion.
