From the farm to the table, agriculture is America's largest employer. The standards of productivity and conservation set by the agricultural industry are respected worldwide. Within our state, rural communities and our farm and ranch families contribute something very special to our lifestyle and values. The 1985 Montana Agricultural Statistics bulletin provides sound information that I hope you find useful in making the many business decisions that confront those of us in agriculture.

MOV I KN V 5')(i:il-(l2(ll TELEPHONE: AREA CODE 40e 4443144 KEITH KELLY DiRECTOB MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Agriculture is an integral part of Montana's economy as is clearly shown by the 1.4 billion dollars of combined product sales generated by the state's agricultural sector during 1984. The depressed economic conditions coupled with drought over the past several years has impacted farmers and ranchers directly. The financial downturn has moved onto the main street of most all towns and cities in Montana creating continued economic uncertainty. These factors add up to drive home the fact of the importance of agriculture to Montana's economy. Considering the economic and climatic adversities facing our agricultural industry today, it is essential that relevant and accurate statistics and information be available to producers and agriculturally related businesses. I encourage the agricultural industry to use the information found within this bulletin to assist them in their decision making process regarding Montana's #1 industry I Sincerely, Director An Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opafrtuniiy Employer THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Prior +o a major reorganization in 1977 the Department of Agriculture functioned mainly as a regulatory agency. Restructuring enabled the department to perform its regulatory responsi- bilities more efficiently and to enhance its duties to promote and encourage agriculture in Mon- tana. The reorganization plan ca I led for the department to enter the SOs with a posture of pro- gressively serving Montana agriculture. The Department Director is responsible for administration of the department's $4.5 mil- lion annual budget and its 83 full time and 8 seasonal employees. He oversees the department's four divisions and two units. The function of each division and unit is summarized below. The Centralized Services Division performs technical fiscal and administrative support functions for the department. Responsibilities of the division include activities for internal operations of the department. The Environmental Management Division Is responsible for the registration of 4,000 pesti- cide 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 environ- mental services to agriculture; providing 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 reg- ulatory laws controlling the production, manufacturing and marketing of agricultural commodities ex- ported from or distributed within Montana. The division investigates consumer complaints; performs technical inspections and surveys; issues f edera I -state grade certificates; and provides regulatory technical expertise and licenses for 5,200 bee yards, 550 nurseries, 650 feed dealers, 350 fertil- izer dealers, 300 seed dealers, and 325 grain merchandisers. The division also registers some 3,300 commercial feed products and 1,000 fertilizers. The division's grain laboratory in Great Falls pro- vides the only official grain grading services In the State. The Agricultural Development Division is responsible for administering programs directed at promoting and enhancing Montana agriculture. Through the use of tax-exempt industrial develop- ment revenue bonds, the Beginning Farm Loan Program makes lower interest-rate loans available to beginning farmers and ranchers. A tax deduction Is provided for farmers and ranchers who well their land to qualified beginning farmers and ranchers. Lower interest-rate loans are also available to rural youth, rural youth organizations, and established farmers and ranchers in cooperation with the FmHA, through a $1.8 million revolving fund of the former Montana Rural Rehabilitation Corporation. The division's Marketing Program is responsible for Identifying major needs and priorities by coor- dinating agricultural product development through improvement of direct markets from producer to consumer. 'The division, through the Alfalfa Seed Act, is responsible for improving the culture and production of and market development for alfalfa seed grown In Montana. Statewide agricultural sta- tistics and projections are developed through a Federa I /State cooperative agreement administered through the division, which are made available through a comprehensive agricultural statistics bul- letin and grain movement summary along with other production, price, and income reports. The Wheat Research and Marketing Unit Is responsible for promoting and encouraging Inten- sive 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. The unit contracts with Montana State University for work In areas such as barley Improvement, disease con- trol, insect control, and cropping practices. Foreign market promotion includes U.S. Wheat Assoc- iates membership as one of thirteen partners In the Association's foreign market development efforts and also is a member and participant in the U.S. Feed Grain Council foreign market promotion of feed grains. The Hail Insurance Unit administers the State Hail Insurance Program under guidelines and policies developed by the State Board of Hail insurance. In 1985, Montana producers purchased 2,029 policies from the unit worth $24 million in coverage against hail damage. The unit's success is evi- denced by the fact that both the amount of risk coverage and number of policies purchased have re- mained about the same level even with the drought that has affected the state. The program insures any type of crop grown in Montana from losses caused by hall damage. The maximum rate charged is 10? for standard grain crops.

BOX 4369 - HELENA. MONTANA 59604 (406) 449-5303 FOREWORD The purpose of this publication Is to provide a comprehensive summary of both state and county agricultural statistics for Montana. Past year and historic production data are presented along with weath- er, income, price, and export information. Foreign and out-of-state buyers are heavy users of the bul letin to determine what products are produced In Montana, production volume and major producing areas. Farmers and ranchers use historic production cycles and price data to help make production and marketing decisions. The bulletin also includes special statistical data, wheat utlli- zation, and grain movement. This information would not be available without the funding support from the Montana Wheat Research and Mar- keting Committee. Recent years have been tough for Montana farmers and ranchers. Widespread drouth has resulted in sharp reductions In livestock num- bers and the poorest grain crops in years. Montana's agricultural In- dustry is responsible for over 30 percent of the state's gross Income and 20 percent of the jobs. Loss of agricultural Income and a drop in farmland values has depressed the state's economy and created a farm c red It crisis. These unusual years have also contributed to an unprecedented in- terest and demand for agricultural statistics. That's why we espec- ial ly appreciate the excel lent cooperation we have received from our producers and agr I -b us i nessmen who voluntarily provided the raw data. We owe a sincere thanks to our staff of statisticians, support personnel, and field and telephone enumerators who are responsible for the col lection and summarization of this information. A special thanks to Carol Jean Smith who had overa I I responsibi I ity for bul letin layout, charts, and computer processing. e H. Pratt, State Statistician MONTANA CROPS & LIVESTOCK - 1984 JANUARY: The weather turned warmer after the extreme cold of December. Temperatures averaged 5 to 15 degrees above normal . Snowcover was very I Ight, but wind damage to winter wheat was I tght. FEBRUARY: Temperatures were general ly warmer than normal. Precipitation was above normal In the southwest, south central and below normal elsewhere. Despite the poor snowcover winter wheat re- mained in generally good condition. The mild weather allowed calving and lambing to start under good conditions. MARCH: Most of the State enjoyed above normal temperatures al I month. Precipi- tation was generally above normal. Winter wheat continued to be in good condition and was greening by the end of the month. The warm weather provided excel lent calving and lambing conditions and about 45 percent of the calving and lambing was completed by month's end. APR I L: A major spring storm began the last week of the month over the southwest and south central with the southeast tailing the brunt of the storm. The storm ruined what had been Ideal calving and lambing conditions and resulted in large losses. IVInter wheat remained In good condition. HAY : Cool, especially the first half of the month. Topsoil moisture was generally short especially In the north central and northeastern parts of the State. Seeding started earlier than normal and was generally completed by month's end. In some eastern areas stockwater was becoming critically short. JUNE: Long awaited rains came to parched areas of the north central and northeast. Temperatures averaged below normal for the month. Crop development was generally ahead of normal. The rains benefited pastures and ranges but growth was slow and grazing was short in many areas. JULY; A hot and dry month. The hot dry weather accelerated crop development and by month's end 10 percent of the winter wheat was harvested. Range feed and stockwater supplies were short In the north central, central, and eastern areas of the State. AUGUST: Another very hot month. Record high temperatures were set at many locations. Precipitation was generally light to moderate. Harvest progress of grains and hay was ahead of normal aided by the ideal weather. Grasshopper damage was moderate over most of the State but was heaviest In the south central and east. Some ranchers started supplemental feeding due to lack of forage for livestock. SEPTEMBER: Harvest of small grains was wrapped up by mid-month and harvesting progress of corn silage and dry beans was running ahead of normal. Sugarbeet harvest was just getting underway by month's end. Winter wheat seeding was running behind schedule due to dry soil condition. Over half the cattle and sheep had been moved to winter grazing areas. OCTOBER: Warm the first half of the month, but much cooler tha last half. Corn silage harvest was completed by mid-month and harvest of dry beans, potatoes and sugarbeets was finished by month's end. Emer- gence of the winter wheat crop was running behind schedule and most of the crop was In only fair condition. A considerable amount of supplemental feeding to livestock was being done due to short- age of winter grazing. NOVEMBER; Temperatures were very near normal but precipitation was genei — al ly below normal for the month. Wind damage to winter wheat was I ight even though snowcover ranged from very little to none. Most livestock were on supplemental feed. DECEMBER: Temperatures aver- aged 5 to 15 degrees below normal over al I the State. The area west of the Divide had the heaviest precipitation. Livestock were In generally good condition despite cold temperatures and difficult graz ing.
