TED SCHWINDEN

GOVERNOR

Fellow Montanans:

Efficient agricultural management and production is not only important
to the survival of Montana's farms and ranches, it also promotes strong
local and state economies. The statistics in this bulletin are just a small
measure of agriculture's economic significance as Montana's number one
industry .

Farming has become a complex and technical business that involves
more than just raising livestock or growing and harvesting crops. It
requires management, marketing and investment skills.

As a farmer, I know that statistics and research have become more
important in helping today's farmer make sound decisions. The agricultural
statistics in this publication can help provide reliable information and illustrate
developments and trends in Montana agriculture.

Agriculture can claim a rich past and a solid presence in Montana.
Let's work together to ensure an equally bright future for food and fiber
production in this state.

Sincerely,

(^^;;;^:7 ^^^^.^;,J^

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

During the past two years we have seen
the importance of balancing supply with
demand in agricultural production. An
integral part of achieving this balance
is good planning and timely and accurate
statistics, such as those contained in
this publication.

Statistical accountings found in this
publication and previous volumes demon-
strate the dramatic growth in Montana
Agriculture during the past decade. The
growth we have seen in agriculture is
attributable to careful planning and
management decisions made by producers,
bankers, and researchers. The result

of this growth has maintained agriculture's position as 'number
one' in Montana's total economy.

I sincerely hope that
and useful .

you will find this publication informative

Sin eye rely,

l^eith Kelly /
Director /
Montana Department of Agriculture

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 order-
ly 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 producer
to the consumer.

The Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting Unit, a joint federal/state service, prepares estimates and re-
ports of production, supply price, and other items necessary to the orderly operation of farm markets. The reports
include statistics on field crops, cattle hogs, poultry and related products. Other estimates concern prices re-
ceived 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 1983-84 the Unit has contracts totaling
$405,600 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 $250,300 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 develop-
ment 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 several years.

The Alfalfa Seed Unit is responsible for improving the culture and production of and expanding the mar-
ket for alfalfa seed grown in the state. This unit was established by the 1982 Legislature.

The 48th Montana Legislature created a new program to assist beginning farmers in the Department of
Agriculture. The intent of Senate Bill 316 is:

"...an act to help farmers and ranchers obtain credit at lower rates for agricultural purposes. . .and
provide an income tax deduction for certain land sales to beginning farmers...

"The purpose of this act is to assist beginning farmers with financial support and encouragement by
making low interest rate loans available to eligible farmers and by providing incentives to retiring
farmers who sell their land to eligible beginning farmers."

Senate Bill "316, effective October 1, 1983, establishes a nine-member loan authority (quasi-judicial board)
appointed by the governor. The agricultural loan authority, through the Department of Agriculture, provides for
issuance of bonds to provide qualified and approved applicants financing for purchase of land or depreciable property.
Senate Bill 316 provides for an income tax deduction for land sold to beginning farmers.

"A landowner who sells land consisting of 80 acres or more to a beginning farmer at 9% or less interest
on a long-term contract is entitled to a reduction in his taxable income in an amount equal to 100%
of any income or capital gain, or both, realized and other subject to state income taxes from the sale,
up to a maximum of $50,000, provided the transaction is first approved by the authority for this pur-
pose."

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 De-
partment of Agriculture will help you understand how it is serving Montana agriculture.

FOREWORD

Montana Agricultural Statistics 1983 is the continuation
of a data series dating back to 1946. Sam C. Ford, the Governor
at that time said, "This bulletin offers the most complete summary
of the State's progress in its fundamental business of farming,
presented comprehensively by counties and given additional clarity
through the liberal use of tables, illustrative maps and charts."
This 1983 issue attempts to maintain the same high standards of
presentation and quality that were established thirty-seven years
ago.

Agriculture is the most important industry in Montana.
Farm and ranch assets alone totaled more than 19 billion dollars
in 1982. Sales of products from Montana's 24,000 farms contributed
over 1.6 billion dollars to the State's economy.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information about
Montana's agricultural industry. Information is the lubricant that
keeps the wheels of agriculture running smoothly. It aids in pro-
duction planning and is vital to orderly marketing. Information is
a key element in all agriculturel research which has helped U.S.
farmers achieve the highest production efficiency in the world.
It dispels rumors and reduces speculation. Sometimes the news is
good, sometimes bad, but it is always useful to help make informed,
accurate decisions.

The bulletin includes special statistical data on wheat
varieties, stocks by class, wheat utilization, wheat and barley by
cropping practice, grain production forecasts by crop reporting dis-
trict, and grain movement. These statistics were funded by the
MONTANA WHEAT RESEARCH AND MARKETING COMMITTEE. Data on barley var-
ieties were funded by the AMERICAN MALTING BARLEY ASSOCIATION, INC.

We owe a sincere thanks to all the farmers, ranchers and
agri-businessmen who voluntarily contributed their time to answer
the questionnaires that provide the basic information summarized
in this bulletin. A special thanks also goes to our staff of stat-
isticians, support personnel, and field and telephone enumerators
who are responsible for the collection and summarization of this in-
formation.

MONTANA CROPS & LIVESTOCK - 1982

JANUARY: Arctlc air covered most of the state during most of the month. Snowcover was fair and wind damage to
winter wheat was light. Temperatures averaged 5 to 15 degrees below normal. February: The first two weeks were
very cold--15 to 20 degrees below normal. During the third week temperatures moderated and new record highs
occurred in many areas of the southern half of the state. The last week was cold in the north but mild elsewhere.
Above normal precipitation fell over much of the state. Winter wheat remained in fair to good condition, march:
Temperatures were near normal except in the west where they averaged 5 degrees above normal, and parts of the
north central and central which had temperatures 2 to 5 degrees below normal. Snowcover was adequate for winter
wheat. Calving and lambing were often difficult, april: Unsettled weather slowed spring seeding to below the aver-
age mark for the month. Moisture was generally adequate and winter wheat began to break dormancy. Nearly 80% of
the calves and lambs were dropped by month's end with some death losses reported due to cold, wet conditions.
MAY: Generally a cool, wet month. Seeding lagged behind normal and growth and development of both winter wheat
and spring crops were slowed. Cattle movement to summer ranges was retarded, june: Cool, wet weather continued
until nearly mid-month. Seeding completion was delayed until about the 20th. By month's end all crops were still
behind normal in development, but in good condition. Moisture was generally adequate, july: Temperatures began to
warm during the second half of the month speeding crop development and maturity. Rainfall kept soil moisture at
adequate levels. Although maturity was slow crops were in good condition, august: Harvest fell behind because of
delayed maturity and scattered rain showers. During the second half of the month warm and dry weather helped to
speed progress but by month's end crop harvest activities were still behind schedule. September: September was an
ideal month for crop development and harvest activities. By the end of the month everything was almost on schedule.
Soil moisture was poor for the start of winter wheat seeding, october: The month started wet, but dry conditions
prevailed most of the second half. Temperatures were mostly mild. Harvest of all crops was finished during the
month and winter wheat seeding continued later than normal. November: Soil moisture remained adequate helping
winter wheat. Livestock were returned from summer ranges. Grazing continued for about half of the state's cattle
herd at month's end. December: Snowcover was poor. A cold wave hit for about 10 days at mid-month, but normal
temperatures returned after that. Winter wheat was in good condition.

US. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS
by MAJOR IMPORTING COUNTRIES

The worldwide economic recession caused a dropoff in demand for U.S. agricultural
exports during 1982. Agricultural exports dropped by over $1 billion to both Japan and
Mexico and was a significant factor in the agricultural export decline. Eleven countries
each took more than $1 billion of U.S. farm products in calendar year 1982, although total
shipments of farm products fell 15 percent from their peak in 1981.

Japan maintained its position as the leading destination and is the largest
foreign market for U.S. feed grains, oilseeds, cotton, tobacco and livestock products.

The 1982 declines were offset somewhat by improvements in exports to the USSR,
which moved up to third position among the top destinations. In addition, shipments
to Spain boosted that country to the sixth largest market.
