Farming has become a complex business that requires farmers to use their resources wisely. During these tough economic times, management decisions become critical. The agricultural statistics in this handbook are intended to assist farmers with those decisions. I commend the people who have compiled this information, and I hope that the publication will be a valuable resource to those who use it.

CAPITOL STATION HELENA, MONTANA 59620 TELEPHONE; AREA CODE 406 449 3144 W. GORDON McOMBER DIRECTOR r-lESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Montana's agricultural income has made impressive advances over the last fifty years, increasing from slightly more than 64 million dollars in 1931 to nearly 1.5 billion dollars in 1982, an increase of more than 2 3 times. Increased demand for agricultural products domestically and internationally has been the primary factor influencing the tech- nological advancements in today's agricul- ture, and thus the dramatic increases in agricultural production. In order that the farmer can produce the food that is demanded he must keep pace with new technology; carefully plan and manage his operation the same as any other business. He also must market his commodities as efficiently as possible in order to realize the maximum return on investment. This process requires accurate data on which to base decisions. The statistics contained in this volume provide the user, whether farmer, banker, or researcher, a good basis from which to make deci- sions and forecasts. Anyone having the occasion to use this publication will find its contents informative. Sincerely, W. Gordon TlcOmErer, Director Montana Department of Agriculture An Affirmative Aclion/Equat Employment Opportunity Employer THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Prior to a major reorganization in 1977 the Department of Agriculture functioned mainly as a regulatory agency. Restructuring enabled the Department to perform its regulatory responsibilities more efficiently and to enhance its duties to promote and encourage agriculture in Montana. The reorganization plan called for the Depart- ment to enter the eighties with a posture of better serving Montana agriculture. The Department Director is responsible for administration of the Department's 4 million dollar annual bud- get and its 83 full time and 10 seasonal positions. He oversees the Department's three divisions and six units. The function of each division and unit is summarized here below. Centralized Services Division performs technical fiscal and administrative support functions for the De- partment. Activities are for internal operations. The Environmental Management Division is responsible for the registration of 3,000 pesticide products; the certification and licensing of 2,500 commercial applicators and dealers, and some 10,000 private applicators; enforcement of the pesticide act and rules; providing technical environmental services to agriculture; providing for an evaluation of pest management problems and programs; and providing analytical laboratory and consultative services to other agencies and the public. The Plant Industry Division is responsible for the administration and enforcement of regulatory laws controlling the production, manufacturing and marketing of agricultural commodities exported from or distributed within Montana. The division investigates consumer complaints; performs technical inspections and surveys; issues federal-state grade certificates; and provides regulatory technical expertise for and licenses 5,000 bee yards, 550 nurseries, 650 feed dealers, 450 fertilizer dealers, 350 seed dealers and 250 grain merchandisers. The division also certifies some 2,000 commercial feed products and 1,000 fertilizers. The division's grain laboratory in Great Falls provides the only official grain grading services in the state. The Marketing Unit identifies major needs and establishes priorities in marketing to facilitate the or- derly flow of the state's agricultural goods to market. From the generated data, the unit develops and publishes statistics describing Montana agricultural transportation. The unit works to coordinate marketing from the pro- ducer to the consumer. The Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting Unit, a joint federal/state service, prepares estimates and reports of production, supply price, and other items necessary to the orderly operation of farm markets. The re- ports include statistics on field crops, cattle, hogs, poultry and related products. Other estimates concern prices received by farmers for products sold and prices paid by them for commodities and services. Montana county and some special statistics are developed through the Federal/State Cooperation Agreement. These county statistics are published biennially in the "MONTANA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS" bulletin. The Wheat Research and Marketing Unit 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 Wheat Research and Marketing Committee. For fiscal year 1982-83 the Unit has contracts totalling $248,000 with Montana State University for work in areas such as barley improvement, disease control, the Agnet program, insect control and cropping practices. For foreign market promotion the Unit pays a $220,000 membership fee to U.S. Wheat Associates to maintain Montana as one of thirteen partners in the association's foreign market development efforts. The Unit also assists in providing Montanans agricultural statistics and food and feed de- velopment funds. The Hail Insurance Unit administers the State Hail Insurance Program under guidelines and policies de- veloped by the State Board of Hail Insurance. In 1982, Montana producers purchased 2,139 policies from the Unit worth a record $25.3 million dollars in coverage against hail damage. The Unit's success is evidenced by the fact that both the amount of risk coverage and number of policies purchased have increased each of the past sev- eral years. The Alfalfa Seed Unit is responsible for improving the culture and production of and expanding the market for alfalfa seed grown in the state. This Unit was established by the 1982 Legislature. The Rural Development Unit provides financial assistance to help young farmers and ranchers get started in agriculture. The program was originally funded by federal rural rehabilitation funds. Total assets now are $1.5 million. Proceeds from the 220 active loans pay for program administration and provide funds for future loans. Assisting the state's number one industry is a formidable task. Hopefully, this brief look into the Department of Agriculture will help you understand how it is serving Montana agriculture.

BOX 4369 - HELENA. MONTANA 59604 (406) 449-5303 FOREWORD The purpose of this publication is to serve the informa- tion needs of Montana agriculture. Montana's 24 thousand farms and ranches contributed over 1.5 billion dollars to the state's economy during 1981--more than any other industry. The data herein establishes the importance of agricultural production to each county, as well as to the state's economy. The information provides vital input to help make farm production and marketing decisions, locate and operate storage and processing facilities, provide production and transportation services, develop markets for Montana products and provides ba- sic information for agricultural research. The Statistical Reporting Service, U.S.D.A., and the Montana Department of Agriculture, cooperating as the 'MONTANA CROP & LIVESTOCK REPORTING SERVICE', collect and publish sta- tistical information about Montana agriculture. Current infor- mation is published throughout the year and is summarized along with county statistics for this bulletin. Most of the basic information presented in this bulletin is obtained through voluntary response to surveys conducted by this office. We owe a sincere thanks to all the farmers, ranch- ers, and agri-businessmen who voluntarily contributed their time to provide this information. Special statistics on wheat varieties, stocks by class, wheat utilization, wheat and barley by cropping practice, grain production forecasts by crop reporting district, and grain movement were funded by the MONTANA WHEAT RESEARCH AND MARKETING COMMITTEE. Data on barley varieties were funded by the NATIONAL MALTING BARLEY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. A special thanks goes to our office staff of statisticians, support personnel, and field and telephone enumerators who are responsible for the tremendous task of collection and summariza- tion of this information. Lyle H. Pratt, State Statistician MONTANA CROPS & LIVESTOCK -- 1980 JANUARY: Temperatures averaged below normal. Despite the light to practically no snowcover, wind damage to winter wheat was light. February: Generous precipitation over most of the state with above normal temperatures. Open gra- zing helped conserve hay supplies. Calving and lambing off to a good start by month's end. march: Temperatures and precipitation both averaged above normal. After the first week, weather was rather mild with a few small storms over parts of the state. Calving and lambing were aided by the generally mild weather with losses lighter than normal. APRrt: Precipitation below normal with above average temperatures. Winter wheat broke out of dormancy and spring planting was in full swing. Calving and lambing essentially finished. Stockwater supplies becoming sery short east- ern part of state, may: Temperatures generally above and precipitation below normal. Considerable reseeding of winter wheat to spring wheat and barley because of poor germination the previous fall. Volcanic ash from Mt. St. Helens erup- tion showed no adverse affects on crops or livestock, june: Frequent showers and thundershowers throughout the month, temperatures averaged normal. Hot, dry weather pushed crop development ahead of normal. Range conditions eastern part of state very poor. Many operators marketed livestock or moved them to summer pastures out of state, july: Frequent widely scattered showers during the month. Hay harvest slowed by shower activity. Winter wheat harvest started earlier than normal, august: Temperatures generally below normal with periods of heavy precipitation. Grain harvest progressed slow due to shower activity. Winter wheat harvest full swing, but slightly behind normal. Winter wheat seeding started some areas. September; Generally near normal to above normal temperatures. Grain harvest slow due to showery weather, but seeding of winter wheat progressed at about normal pace. Some supplemental feeding of livestock started in eastern part of state. October: First half sunny and mild, last half cool and wet. Sugarbeet harvest delayed by the rain. Winter wheat germination poor some areas, stands spotty and uneven. Moisture helped relieve critical livestock water shortages eastern part of state. November: Very mild month with substantial precipitation. Livestock in good condition, open grazing, but most livestock on supplemental feed. December: Weather showed great contrast, precipitation variable. Record breaking warm temperatures over nearly all areas of the state averaged 12 degrees above normal. Winter wheat snow- cover poor, deteriorated to none by end of the month. Winds and above normal temperatures dried out topsoil moisture, fxtreme weather fluctuations put some stress on livestock. 1981 JANUARY: Very mild month with temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal. Numerous daily record maximum temperatures were set. Mild temperatures brought winter wheat out of dormancy in some central and south central areas. Above normal temp- eratures eased livestock feeding requirements considerably and relieved tight hay supplies eastern part of State. FEBRUARY: Another mild month with temperatures averaging 4-12 degrees above normal. Precipitation west of Divide above average, east of Divide below average. Livestock good condition, grazing generally open, march: Temperatures again very mild, 10-15 Degrees above normal. General 'greening up' of winter wheat with some growth southern areas. Calving and lambing about 50 percent complete, april: Precipitation generally below normal with temperatures near to above normal. Seeding of spring crops in full swing with planting progress running about normal. Army worm infestations were showing up in eastern counties, may: Variable temperatures with significant amounts of precipitation the latter part of the month in all but the northeastern part of the state. Planting completion wind-up of spring crops delayed because of wet conditions. Livestock moving to sumner ranges, june: Temperatures below normal with considerable precipitation. Spring crop progress and haying delayed by the cool, wet weather. Winter wheat condition good to excellent, july: Hot and dry for latter part of the month. Hot, windy weather placed stress on spring crops. Winter wheat harvest underway by month's end. Stockwater shortages eastern part of state, august: Scattered light showers and above normal temperatures allowed harvesting progress to advance ahead of normal. Winter wheat planting was getting a good start by the end of the month. SEPTEMBER: Generally a very warm, dry month with moderate precipitation the last week. Winter wheat seeding delayed due to lack of rain. Stockwater supplies critically short eastern part of State. OCTOBER: Month started off mild but with generally cooler temperatures toward month's end. Potato and sugarbeet harvest about complete by the end of the month. Host livestock moved from sumner ranges, novembeh: Temperatures generally well above normal with near to above normal precipitation. Most livestock on supplemental feed with stockwater supplies still short in some eastern areas. DECEMBER: Except for a short cold period at mid-month and at the end, temperatures were quite mild during the month. Heaviest precipitation over the west, southwest and south central areas. Many ranchers held calves because of low prices for both feed and livestock.
