It has accounted for a large percentage of the productive income to the state annually, reaching 82.8 percent in 1947. With the construction of great new dams, providing additional irrigated land, electric power and flood control, Montana's agricultural future is unlimited. It is an axiom that, so long as the farmer prospers the nation prospers. Standards of living for our farmers and ranchers have been immeasurably im- proved during the past 20 years. Everv^ effort must be made to msure a con- tinued farm prosperity. This Bulletin, compiled and prepared by the Montana Department of Agri- culture, serves not alone as a guide to past and present agricultural progress in Montana but may serve admirably as well as a guide to the future great progress and development of Montana's great agricultural industry. I commend all of those who worked so diligently to compile this vital con- tribution to our agricultural industry. Sincerely yours, Governor of Montana STATE OF MONTANA PREFACE Agriculture is America's greatest industry and has more bearing on human lives, directly and indirectly, than any other endeavor. Farm population con- tinues to decrease but many persons who leave the farm become engaged in activities closely associated with agriculture. Farms and ranches are increas- ing in size and decreasing in number but they are producing more food and fiber. The larger output by fewer farm workers has been accomplished prin- cipally through improved practices and tools. Federal and State Departments of Agriculture and many private agencies serve farms and ranches with the ways and means for more productive and efficient operations. The assembly and distribution of agricultural statistics is one of the many governmental services used in promoting this great industry. The Agricultural Estimates Branch of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics is the principal fact finding agency of the United States Department of Agri- culture. It is charged with the preparation and publication of information re- lating to crop acreages, yield, production, disposition, price and values and livestock numbers, production, disposition, price and values. These data are released to the public in mimeographed form showing "state" and national figures. By means of a co-operative agreement with the Montana Department of Agriculture and funds appropriated by the thirty-second session of the Montana Legislature, it has been possible to prepare the "county" and "dis- trict" data in this bulletin. This fourth volume of Montana Agricultural Statistics will receive wide distribution to parties in and outside the state who have re- quested such information and have found the bulletins to be handy reference guides. Contents of Bulletin This bulletin features county crop and livestock statistics and contains de- tailed state data of a short-time series. The first issue of Montana Agricultural Statistics, December 1946, carried a long-time series of state information dating from the 1870's to 1945. Subsequent bulletins, published biennially, have pre- sented similar state data for earlier years and county data for the two years immediately preceding the date of publication. Official crop and livestock estimates are prepared largely from information collected on a sample basis from farm and ranch operators by mail. Record data which becomes available at the close of the marketing period, such as shipments, market receipts, processing plants receipts, etc., often justify re- visions of estimates prepared earlier. Furthermore, the Census of Agriculture, which is taken every five years, serves as base points for the estimates and usually requires revisions of some data for several previous years. Census data covering crops harvested in 1949 and livestock numbers in 1950 have been available during the past eighteen months during which time crop and live- stock revisions have been made, where necessary, for the years 1944 to 1951. Consequently, the state data appearing in this bulletin supersede those which appear in previous issues. Contents of this bulletin are as follows: Climate Data, page 6, show a wide variation of precipitation and number of frost free days between selected county stations. The information for any station is only an approximate indication of the moisture and weather pattern for the county in which the station is located. Cosh Receipts and Farm Commodity Prices, page 7, reflect a marked in- crease in the agricultural income of recent years. Cash values of agricultural 4 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS products used on f corns and ranches are not included in the figures used for the table and chart. The farm commodity price index did not rise as rapidly as cash receipts during the period which signifies that crop and livestock pro- duction was increased substantially. Cash receipts by counties, pages 8 and 9, present a comparison of 1950 and 1951 income and the division of income be- tween crops, livestock and government payments. All Crops, acreage and value of crop production, page 10, emphasizes the importance of irrigation to Montana's agriculture. The value of crops harvested from irrigated land has averaged about 33 percent of the total since 1937, but was much larger during drought years. During 1936, a year of severe drought, the value of crops taken from irrigated land amounted to 63 percent of the total. Montana Crops and Livestock Diuing 1950 and 1951, pages 11-13, is a summary of factors affecting crop production and livestock marketings. Weather conditions in various parts of the state during these years were ex- treme in several respects but the over-all agricultural production continued at a high level. Farm Wage Rates, page 14, are only one of several indications that farm expenses have risen with farm income during recent years. Although agri- culture is now highly mechanized, hired workers are essential to farming and ranching and particularly so during the planting and harvesting periods. Mechanization requires labor of more skill and in some degree accounts for the high wages now paid for hired help. State Crop Tables, pages 15-25, present total, irrigated and non-irrigated data for the period 1944-51. Crops which are grown completely on irrigated land or on non-irrigated land are so noted in the headings. Several grass and legume seed crops hove been added to the list since publication of the last bulletin and their data appear on page 24. State Livestock Tables, pages 26-31, are similar to those in other bulletins and contain revised data for the years 1944-51. Livestock inventory numbers are shown by age and sex groups and the tables cover disposition value and income. Acreage of Wheat Sprayed for Weeds, pages 32 and 33, is increasing in Montana and chemical treatment of grains for control of weeds is now a big business. The number of wheat acres sprayed by kind and cropping practices appear in the table. Wheat Acreages and Yields by Cropping Practices, pages 34-41, for the years 1945 and 1951 point up the increase in summer fallowed acreage. The practice of fallowing winter wheat in Montana has been common for many years and is becoming more prominent with spring wheat. Abandonment of acreage is consistently smaller and the yields are larger with dry-land wheat grown on summer fallowed land as compared with that grown on land con- tinuously cropped. The differences ore particularly significant in dry years such as 1949. Grain Storage Facilities, page 42, indicate that the over-all bin space is adequate for storing grains in Montana. For the state as a whole, the crops of wheat, barley and oats produced in 1948, occupied about 80 percent of the com- bined storage space on farms and in commercial elevators. Some counties produced more grain than could be stored which meant that grain deliveries STATE OF MONTANA 5 were made to adjoining counties, grain was loaded on cars at sidings as harvested and was also piled on the ground. While the record volume of grain produced in 1948 had adequate storage generally, the facilities allowed but a small carry-over and much wheat and barley had to be piled outside during the harvest period. Protein in Montana Wheat, pages 43-45, is considered to be the highest in the country. A survey of nearly 3,000 wheat growers early this year pro- vided the information on 1951 wheat protein by cropping practices for spring wheat and winter wheat. The shaded map presents a general protein picture by counties. Similar information relating to protein in the 1952 crop of wheat is to be assembled early next year. County Crop Tables, pages 46-75, show 1950 and 1951 acres planted and harvested, yield per acre and price for the total crop, also acres harvested and yield per acre separately for irrigated and non-irrigated land. Counties not producing a significant amount of each respective crop do not appear in the tables. County Livestock Tables, pages 76-81, list the January 1 inventory numbers of the principal livestock and poultry for the years 1946-51. Figures for 1946-49 supersede those appearing in previous issues. County Oats and Barley Tables, pages 82-97, present a long-time series of acreage harvested and yield per acre for the years 1930-49. Ten-year average yields from irrigated land are much above non-irrigcrted yields, particularly during the drought period. Coimty Census Tables, pages 98-103, contain farm numbers, acreage ac- cording to use, form facilities, equipment and labor for 1949 and 1950.

STATE OF MONTANA 11 Crops and Livestock in Montana During 1950 Crops — Total production of crops during 1950 reached a record high. The acreage harvested of all crops totaled 9,172,700 acres, 523,700 acres more than in 1949 and compares with 8,852,400 acres in 1948, the previous record pro- duction year. The 1950 season opened several weeks later than normal and field work was delayed by late snows, rains and excessive moisture. When tempera- tures warmed, crops and grass made excellent growth. Soil moisture con- tinued adequate throughout the growing season, with the exception of a few eastern counties and in several western and southwestern sections where dry conditions appeared periodically. Water for irrigation was in abundance. Insect activity was restricted by the adverse spring weather, although cut- worms and grasshoppers were troublesome in some areas. Grain harvest be- gan later than usual and operations were continually delayed by cool, rainy weather. Freezing temperatures in mid-August and early September damaged a sizeable acreage of immature grain in the northern part of the state and hurt late crops elsewhere. Mild weather in October permitted completion of harvest operations. Montana's wheat production in 1950 reached 91,434,000 bushels, the sec- ond highest of record. The spring wheat was harvested from 3,813,000 acres and totaled 68,634,000 bushels, a record high production. Seeding operations were delayed by the late, damp spring, but the good moisture supplies through- out the summer resulted in excellent yields. A considerable acreage in the north central portion of the state was damaged by the mid-August and Septem- ber freezes. Much of this frosted wheat was of very poor quality and fit only for feeding purposes. A total of 1,140,000 acres of winter wheat was harvested with a production of 22,800,000 bushels. The fall seeded acreage was estimated at 1,402,000 acres. Heavy winter kill in many sections and spotted cutworm, damage resulted in sizeable abandonment and reseeding to spring wheat. Production of oats amounted to 15,651,000 bushels and barley totaled 23,430,000 bushels, considerably higher than in 1949. Seeding and harvesting of these was hindered by the adverse spring and fall weather, but good sum- mer growing weather resulted in fine yields. Early frost damaged many im- mature fields. An estimated 2,651,000 tons of all hay was produced in 1950. The late spring caused lighter than usual first cuttings of alfalfa and reduced yields of clover and timothy. An increased acreage of wild hay was cut due to iha favorable moisture situation. Flaxseed plantings were down, partly as a result of the late spring. Growing conditions were good and yields were higher than in 1949. Mustard seed was harvested from 36,900 acres, the highest since 1947. Yields were re- duced by a hailstorm in the chief producing area and fall freeze damage. Crested wheatgrass made excellent growth, with cm increased acreage cut for hay and seed. Acres harvested for seed totaled 34,000 acres, the highest since 1944. Alfalfa seed yields were reduced by the early frosts. A considerable portion of the corn was damaged by the frosts in August and September, with only a limited amount maturing. Freezing temperatures also damaged some potatoes, causing storage difficulties. Most irrigated crops made excellent growth during the season. 12 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS Apples and cherries were severely hurt by spring frosts and yields were low. Livestock — The State's cattle inventory on January 1, 1950 totaled 1,726,000 head. This was a reduction from that recorded a year earlier, partly as a result of increased marketings in 1949. By January 1, 1951, the cattle population reached 1,881,000 head, an increase of 155,000 head during 1950. Excellent range and feed supplies prevailed throughout the year and cattle made favor- able gains. Prices were on the upswing and there was a tendency to restock. Marketings of cattle and calves were lower in 1950, 638,000 head, as com- pared with 940,000 head sold in 1949. A total of 1,584,000 head of sheep and lambs were on farms and ranches January 1, 1950. Conditions were generally good for sheep operations, al- though there were some high losses during late spring storms. A sharp rise in sheep and wool prices the latter part of the year encouraged more sheep raising and there was a strong demand for stock sheep. By January 1, 1951 the inventory of sheep and lambs reached 1,716,000 head, reversing the long decline in sheep numbers. Hogs numbered 145,000 head the close of 1950, a reduction of 18,000 from that recorded the first of the year. A total of 1,778,000 chickens v/ere on farms January 1, 1951, compared with 1,957,000 the first of 1950. Crops and Livestock in Montana During 1951 Crops — The total volume of crops harvested in 1951 was less than the preceding year, although above average. Wheat production has higher, but most other crops were below 1950. Acres harvested of all crops amounted to 9,302,600 acres as compared with 9,172,700 acres in the preceding year. The 1951 crop season opened late and had a very short growing season. Abundant soil moisture at seeding time delayed field work, but resulted in good germination of crops. Precipitation during the growing season was very light in parts of the eastern portion and in the southwest, with serious moisture shortages developing in several sections. Timely rains relieved drying con- ditions elsewhere in the state. Unusually high temperatures in July damaged grain crops in the drier areas. Cool, wet weather beginning in mid-August and continuing throughout the fall, severely hampering harvest operations and delayed maturity of crops. Operations continued into December in some northern counties. Insect activity was very light during the season. Wheat production in 1951 totaled 97,988,000 bushels, the highest on record. An estimated 4,576,000 acres of spring wheat was harvested, producing 68,640,000 bushels, slightly above the previous record production in 1950. Seeding was delayed by the late spring and some reseeding was necessary due to crusted topsoil. Hot weather in mid-July, "forced" a sizeable acreage, reducing yields. Harvest was delayed by the wet fall and a substantial amount of the wheat was moisture damaged. Binders and swathers were used ex- tensively. Winter wheat was harvested from 1,334,000 acres and amounted to 29,348,000 bushels, larger than the production in both 1949 and 1950. Winter kill was only moderate. Moisture conditions were favorable in the chief pro- ducing areas and yields were good. Total production of oats and barley amounted to 10,200,000 and 12,880,000 bushels respectively. Acreages of both were below 1950, due in part to the STATE OF MONTANA 13 increase in wheat seedings. The late spring delayed planting and adverse fall weather hampered harvest. A sizeable portion was damaged by excessive moisture. Production of all hay amounted to 2,363,000 tons in 1951. The inclement spring weather delayed early hay growth and frost damaged much of the first crop of alfalfa. Drought conditions in sections of Eastern Montana reduced wild hay yields. Flaxseed acreage was down from 1950 and production was the lowest since 1938. Seedings were reduced by the adverse spring and poor harvest weather caused considerable abandonment. Mustard seed was harvested from 35,700 acres. Yields were good despite hail damage and unfavorable harvest conditions. Crested wheatgrass seed production was low in 1951. Prices were down and the season was unfavorable for growth. Alfalfa yields were light in many sections as a result of the drought. Conditions were more favorable in the chief sweet clover seed area. Irrigated field crops, such as dry beans, sugar beets and seed peas, did well, although hindered by the cool spring and fall temperatures. The short growing season and dry conditions were not conducive to corn growth, with only a limited portion reaching maturity. Production of apples and cherries was a near failure due to the late spring frosts. Livestock — Cattle numbers in Montana totaled 2,107,000 head by the close of 1951, a sharp increase from the 1,881,000 head recorded the beginning of the year. High prices and a strong demand encouraged many ranchers to increase their herds. Marketings were only slightly above 1950. Range feed was gen- erally adequate, except in the drier areas in the eastern portion. Late summer rains provided a good supply of fall range feed. The State's sheep and lamb population increased from 1,716,000 head on January 1, 1951 to 1,861,000 head January 1, 1952. Prices during the yeor were at a high level and there was considerable interest in restocking. The lamb crop was larger than in 1950. A total of 188,000 hogs were on farms and ranches the close of 1951, 43,000 more than at the start of the year. Horse numbers dropped 14,000 head during 1951. Chickens numbered 1,847,000 on January 1, 1952, compared with 1,778,000 on January 1 the previous year. 14 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS FARM WAGE RATES— 1S38- 1951 Year and Month 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 January April ....

In 1951 sprays were applied to 3,348,600 acres of wheat, 53 percent of the total acres seeded. This was 668,800 acres more than in 1950 and exceeded the 1949 area by 583,100 acres. The acres of wheat so treated in 1950 were slightly less than in 1949 due principally to a smaller seeded acreage. In* 1949 about 47 percent of the acreage received weed chmicals, as compared with 51 percent in 1950. Experimental use of chemicals for control of weeds during the early 1940's led to general acceptance of this practice by grain growers in 1944. By 1947, the use of sprays for weeds in winter wheat was quite general and during the next two years it became prominent in controlling weeds in spring wheat, barley and other grains. Many fields of flax, especially that under irrigation, are now kept free of weeds by chemical sprays. The common weed killer (2,4-D) can be harmful to grain plants and may reduce potential yields, particularly if it is applied at a vulnerable time and not in proper solution. However, if the control measure was not used a consider- able acreage of Montana's grains, with a preponderance of weeds, would either be starved out or would be difficult to combine and thresh. Clean fields and the resulting weed free grains are desired by growers. Since wheat is the principal crop grown in Montana and with sprays used relatively more for this grain, there has been particular interest in the acreage of wheat so controlled for weeds. Surveys have been made relative to acres of this crop sprayed by kind and by cropping practices during 1949, 1950 and 1951. Data which appear on the following page and in Volume III of Montana Agricultural Statistics were prepared from information supplied by approxi- mately 3,100 wheat producers in the State. Winter wheat is sprayed in much larger proportion than spring v/heat but the percentage of the acreage sprayed is increasing for spring wheat. In 1949 weed chemicals were applied to 68 percent of the winter wheat acreage, while in 1950 and 1951 the sprayed acreage was 64 percent of the total seedings. Of the winter wheat grown on summer fallowed land, 69 percent received chemi- cal spray in 1949 and 65 percent in both 1950 and 1951. The acreage of winter wheat grown on other dry land so treated was 53 percent in 1949, 59 percent in 1950 and 46 percent in 1951. Irrigated winter wheat is sprayed less in- tensively, with 41 percent in 1949 and 28 and 33 percent respectively during 1950 and 1951. Spraying for weeds in spring wheat covered 50 percent of the seeded acreage in 1951, as compared with 46 percent in 1950 and 39 percent in 1949. As with winter wheat, the plantings of spring wheat on fallowed land have been sprayed most intensively. During 1951 about 57 percent of the fallowed spring wheat was treated, as against 28 percent on other dry land and 35 percent on irrigated land. Since the percentages for the latter two categories has changed little during the three year period, most of the increase in the spraying of spring wheat has been on summer fallowed land.

The protein content of its spring wheat is the highest of any State in the nation and its winter wheat is also high in protein. A survey of wheat growers disclosed that the 1951 crop of spring wheat averaged 14.9 percent protein, winter wheat 13.0 percent protein and the combined crops averaged 14.3 per- cent protein. Spring wheat grown on summer fallowed dry land yielded highest protein, followed by spring wheat, from continuously cropped dry land. Summer fal- lowed spring wheat averaged 15.1 percent protein with nearly half of the pro- duction yielding 16 percent or more protein. Continuously cropped dry land spring wheat averaged 14.9 percent protein and about one-third of the produc- tion was 16 percent and over in protein content. The irrigated spring wheat averaged 12.7 percent protein. Continuously cropped dry land winter wheat yielded an average of 13.6 percent protein, followed by summer fallowed with a 13.1 percent average, vol- unteer of 13.0 and irrigated winter wheat of 12.0 percent. Very little of the winter wheat crop was in the 16 percent and over protein group. V/heat of protein grade is produced generally throughout Montana but the wheat of highest protein is usually grown in the northern and eastern por- tions. Spring wheat which averaged more than 15 percent in 1951 was har- vested in all of the area east of Toole, Chouteau, Fergus, Petroleum, Mussel- shell, Treasure and Big Horn Counties. In this area, comprising 19 counties, the average protein exceeded 16 percent in five counties, namely Blaine, Phil- lips, Garfield, McCone and Fallon Counties. Protein content was less in central and western counties and the smallest in counties west of the Continental Divide. Nearly all of Montana's wheat is sold under protein analysis. Premiums paid for protein ranges from a few cents in the 12 and 13 percent groups to as much as 50 cents or more for 16 percent and over protein, depending upon the over-all supply of high protein wheat.
