Agri-business people need concise and accurate information upon which to base their decisions. This 39th edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin provides that tjrpe of information in printed and electronic format. Each day, Montana's agricultural industry faces many challenges; world competition, weather, trade concerns, federal issues, along with the day to day management concerns related to production, finances, and marketing. The information provided in this bulletin will assist Montana's agri-businesses in their decision-making processes. My deepest appreciation goes to those individuals who persist in providing the nation and the world with high quality Montana agricultural products. With this ingrained desire to succeed, agriculture will continue to be Montana's number one industry Sincerely, >y-t^»^ Judy Martz Governor 4 FORBVORD MoHTAHA Agricultural Statistics 2002 BfESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Each year Montana's agricultural industry is faced with challenges that are not controlled by the producer. These challenges are varied and may include the weather, markets, production costs, disease, international relations, and others. In this increasingly complex arena, Montana's farmers, ranchers, and agri-businesses must have quick access to concise, reliable information to assist them in making sound managerial decisions. In this 39th annual edition of Montana Agricultural Statistics (available in printed or electronic format)^ our agricultural industry will find accurate and reliable information necessary to make those decisions. We encourage Montana's agricultural community to use this information in their decision-making process as they continue to provide a diverse spectrum of products for Montana, the United States, and the world. Sincerely, Ralph Peck, Director Notes from the State Statistician^ Once again Montana Agricultural Statistics Service is proud to publish the thirty-ninth edition oi Montana Agricultural Statistics. In spite of the drought, Montana's agricultural sector continues to exceed two billion dollars and is a vital industry for Montana's economy. Montana ranks third among states in wheat exports, only exceeded by North Dakota and Kansas. Thank you to Montana's farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses who made this publication possible through their willingness to provide basic agricultural information. Montana Agricultural Statistics Service works in cooperation with the Montana Department of Agriculture, the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee, Montana State University and many other producers' organizations to provide valuable agricultural information. Thanks to everyone who made this publication possible. Peggy Stringer, State Statistician 2002 MOHTANA AORICULTUKAL STATISTICS Generals Montana Department of Agriculture The Department of Agriculture, through the Director, is responsible for administration of a $13 million annual budget with 108 employees. The Director oversees the department's three divisions and six 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. Agricultural Sciences Division is responsible for the registration of 7,025 pesticide products; the training, certification and Licensing of 1,510 commercial and government applicators, 1,677 operators, 447 pesticide dealers, and 8,200 private appUcators.

Statewide agricultural statistics and projections are developed through a Federal/ State cooperative agreement and then made available in a comprehensive agricultural statistics bulletin and grain movement summary along with other production, price and income reports. Alfalfa seed research and market development efforts are administered through the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee. The Montana State Grain Laboratory located in Great Falls operates the only official USDA-Federal Grain Inspection Service 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. Scientific and practical research in all phases of wheat and barley culture, production, and marketing is administered under the guidelines and policies developed by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee. 6 Gensral MORTAlf A AORICULTURAL STATISTICS 2002 Montana Crop. Livestock and weather Digest. 2001 January: A high pressure system kept Montana warmer and drier than normal for the majority of the month. Snow cover on winter wheat fields was a concern of producers at the end of January with protectiveness ratings of 1% excellent, 2% good, 30% fair, 55% poor, and 12% very poor. Wind damage to the winter wheat crop was reported at 5% heavy, 18% moderate, 41% light, and 36% none at month's end. Calving and lambing were off to a good start, benefitting from the mild January weather. Livestock grazing was reported at 43% open, 34% difficult, and the rest closed. February: The weather was generally mild for the month, except for a strong cold front that moved through the state on the 5th. Snow cover provided generally adequate protection and moisture for the winter wheat crop. Because of a lack of forage due to last year's drought, virtually all livestock were receiving supplemental feed at month's end. Calving and lambing were 21% and 13% complete, respectively. Blarch: Montana's weather was warm and dry in March. During the month, the average precipitation received was only 0.13 inches, which made it the driest March since 1963 and the fourth driest on record. The mild conditions allowed producers to start fieldwork towards the end of the month. Nearly all of the cattle and calves ajid sheep and lambs were receiving supplemental feed because of poor range and pasture conditions. At month's end, calving and lambing were 52% and 44% complete, respectively, both behind last year. April: Many areas of the state received near normal amounts of rain or snow the first weeks of April. Precipitation was very light the last part of the month, which allowed producers to make good seeding progress with small grains. Topsoil moisture was rated at very short or short for a majority of the state by month's end. Calving was 89% complete, compared to last year's estimate of 91%. Lambing was 83% complete, ahead of last year's estimate of 77%. Livestock producers were concerned about a water shortage for livestock, as some ponds and reservoirs were reported as either low or empty. Blay: Some areas of the state received rain the first week in May, but hot, dry conditions prevailed the rest of the month. Topsoil moisture during May continued to be rated very short or short for the majority of the state. Sixty-three percent of the winter wheat was reported in very poor or poor condition by the end of the month. Small grains and sugar beets seeding was nearly completed by the last week. Calving was virtually finished, and lambing was 96% complete. Livestock producers remained concerned about a water shortage for livestock. June: Rain showers fell across the state the first two weeks in June. Precipitation was generally light the last part of the month. Crop conditions improved little as a result of the mid-June rains. Eighty percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in very poor and poor condition at month's end. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 28% complete compared with 53% the previous year. Topsoil moisture was rated at 1 2% very short, 38% short, 47% adequate, and 3% surplus. CRP land was opened to grazing. All livestock were moved to summer pastures by the end of June. July: Much of the state received precipitation in July, ranging from gentle showers to heavy downpours. Some producers reported hail damage to crops. Winter wheat was 41% harvested by the end of the month, ahead of the five-year average of 23%. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 93% complete and the second cutting was underway by month's end. Because of poor crop and range conditions, some small grain producers cut grains for livestock feed. In many parts of the state, CRP acres were grazed or producers cut hay from the land. August: Montana had hot temperatures and precipitation the first week in August. Havre set the high at 109 degrees. The weather remained hot but turned dry the second week, which allowed producers to make good progress in harvesting small grains and hay crops. At month's end, the winter wheat harvest was virtually finished, and the spring wheat, barley and oats harvests were three-fourths complete. The second cutting of alfalfa hay was 83% complete, compared with 91% last year. Livestock producers reported shortages of range ajid pasture feed and livestock water in areas of the state. September: During the first week, rainfall was received throughout the state. Temperatures were still hot, but not as hot as previous weeks. Mid-month warm and dry conditions allowed farmers to completely harvest small grain crops by the end of the month. The second cutting of alfalfa hay was 99% complete, compared to the five-year average of 97%. The 2002 winter wheat crop was 71% seeded by month's end, well ahead of the 47% average for the last five years. Forty percent of the cattle and calves and 49% of the sheep and lambs were reported moved off summer pastures. October: Dry conditions continued the first week, allowing producers to make good progress with harvesting late season crops. Most areas of the state received a little rainfall the rest of the month. The 2002 winter wheat crop was 98 % seeded at month's end. Dry beans and corn for silage were 100 % harvested, and the sugar beet and potato harvest was 99% complete. Because of poor range and pasture conditions, some livestock producers grazed their cattle on crop stubble. By the end of October, 78% of the cattle and calves and 81% of the sheep and lambs were moved off summer pastures. November: November was unseasonably warm and dry. Producers were concerned about the lack of snow, as winter wheat protectiveness of snow cover was rated 52% poor and 41% very poor. The last few days of the month brought colder temperatures and moisture to the state. Topsoil and subsoil moisture were both rated at very short or short at month's end. Hay supplies for livestock feeding were reported down. Approximately two-thirds of the state's livestock were receiving some supplemental feed by the end of the month. December: The weather for the month was warmer and drier than normal. The lack of snow cover on winter wheat fields continued to concern producers. At month's end, wind damage to the winter wheat crop was rated at 49% heavy, 19% moderate, 25% light, and 7% none. Because of the mild winter conditions, livestock grazing remained primarily open, although drought-stricken areas had little forage. 2002 MOHTANA AORICULTURAL STATISTICS General 7 Montana Cumatological Data STATIONS COUNTY PRECIPITATION FROST FREE DAYS ' Annual Apnl - September Growing Season 2000 2001 Normal^ 2000 2001 NonnaP 2000 2001 Average' Big Fork, 13 S Lake 16,63 1739 22.41 7.51 9.60 12.50 132 152 154 Big Sandy Chouteau 8.20 7.19 13.88 5.64 5.49 1050 - 135 97 Big Timber Sweet Grass 11.37 11 52 15.43 6.59 7.96 10.80 133 150 125 Billings.
