State of jSHontana ®ffirr of d]p (SrtJEmor SfUna 59601 FORREST H ANDERSON Governor TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MONTANA During the past decade, we have seen a continuation of the trend toward greater productivity and complexity in producing food and fiber. In the seventies it will be essential for those engaged in all sectors of agricultural production to have accurate data. The possession of the basic facts pertaining to the everchanging agricultural scene are a requisite for efficient planning. The report was prepared through a cooperative effort of the Montana Department of Agriculture and the Statisti- cal Reporting Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Those involved in agri-business will find this statis- tical report advantageous and informative. With my very best v/ishes, FORREST H. ANDERSON Governor STATE OF MONfTANA MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER I am particularly pleased with the contents of this statistical report, prepared jointly by the Montana Department of Agriculture and the Statistical Reporting Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. The economic and social strength of Montana is closely associated with agriculture. There are many factors that influence the amount of economic gain in agriculture, but none so important as facts and statistics. Agricultural statistics are an indispensable tool in helping farmers, legislators, agri-business, farm organizations, and state and federal agencies establish and formulate plans for the continued growth of our agriculture and general economy. Agriculture production continues to provide the basic foundation for the high standards of living enjoyed by citizens of the United States. Here in Montana, agriculture and it's related agri-business' is the State's number one industry. As we move into the seventies, economical changes will place an emphatic value on statistical data. I am most certain the information contained herein will be utilized effectively. I wish to express my gratitude to all the people including those within the two departments for their dedicated and untiring efforts in compiling this report. Commissioner of Agriculture. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS FOREWORD Agriculture is Montana's leading industry. Cash receipts from farm marketings and government payments totaled $614 million in 1969. Montana farms and ranches provided employment for 59,000 persons, and related enterprises furnished employment for many more. Agriculture in Montana is a dynamic industry. Production of livestock and crops is done more efficiently each year by fewer farmers and ranchers. With the shortage of skilled labor, there is a continuing need for more automation which is occurring at a rapid rate. Such a dynamic industry needs facts about current inventories and production, which will enable them to make correct decisions for the future. Complete and accurate basic information contributes to improved decision-making in any organization whether farm or ranch, private business, corporation or State Government. The statistics in this bulletin provide the basic information about Montana's foremost industry. They were assembled with the cooperation of public-spirited Montanans who voluntarily provided information concerning their own outfits. While most of the basic information was obtained from farmers and ranchers, supplemental information was acquired from sugarbeet companies, mills and elevators, bean companies, seed processors and dealers, slaughter plants, hatcheries, manufacturers of dairy products, auction markets, railroad companies and others. State agencies, in addition to those in the Montana State Department of Agriculture which contributed significantly were the Livestock Commission, Livestock Sanitary Board, Railroad and PubUc Service Commission and the Board of Equalization. Agencies of the U. S. Government which furnished material were the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Soil Conservation Service, Weather Bureau and the Extension Service. Credit and thanks are due to these and all others who assisted the Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Funds for the printing of this pubUcation were furnished by the Montana State Department of Agriculture. The text and statistical data presented in this bulletin were prepared by the staff of the Montana Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, under the direction of Daniel L. Herbert. Agricultural Statistician-in-Charge, and John E. Cochrane, Assistant-in-Charge. Staff members who contributed significantly in the preparation of this issue were Olav Rogness, L. Max Cain. Robert G.

Temperatures averaged much colder than normal throughout December 1967 and early January 1968. From then until mid-February, mostly moderate weather prevailed, then it turned quite warm with average temperatures for February, well above normal. Periods of April-like weather prevailed during March. Several stations reported this was the warmest March since 1946 and also one of the warmest of record. By late March, field tillage work was underway in most areas of the State. Topsoil moisture supplies in early April 1968 were rated as adequate on Montana farms and ranches with the exception of the northern one-third of the State. Subsoil moisture was adequate except in a few northern counties. Strong winds during the last week of April decreased topsoil supply, caused several dust storms and caused wind damage to winter wheat, mainly in the northcentral counties. Towards the end of May, topsoil moisture shortages continued along the northern border counties and in the northeast. In June, rains replenished soil moisture supplies except in some northeast and western counties. This delayed summer fallow and weed control operations and weeds became a problem. Cutworms were troublesome in the southeastern district. Alfalfa weevil damaged some alfalfa fields but grasshoppers did only light damage. Hail damage occurred in scattered central, southern and western counties. Hot, dry weather during the middle of July rapidly depleted soil moisture throughout the State. In early August, soil moisture shortages developed in all western and southwestern counties and most counties east of the Divide. Cloudy, rainy weather August 13 and 14 replenished soil moisture but halted all harvest activities in the State. Cold temperatures set in after the middle of September. There was heavy snowfall in places along both sides of the Continental Divide. Open, warm days in October allowed outside work to be completed. Farm and ranch activity continued in November at a brisk pace with little interruption from the weather. Extremely cold temperatures set in the last days in December and covered all of the State. CROPS WINTER WHEAT seeding for the 1968 crop began late in August 1967 and was virtually completed by October 20, later than any recent year except 1965. Inadequate soil moisture delayed planting in the western one-third of the State. Snowcover was intermittent throughout the winter of 1967-68. The crop emerged from winter dormancy early in April 1968 virtually undamaged by winter kill and wind damage. Mild spring temperatures allowed the crop to make excellent progress. However, high winds caused severe damage to some wheat planted on sandy soil in northcentral counties. On May 24, winter wheat was in the early boot stage and by June 14, the crop was starting to head. Harvesting began about July 26 and progressed well until interrupted by rains on the 13th and 14th of August. Rain and continued wet weather led to bleached grain, decreased yield and test weight. Harvest was carried on intermittently and on September 13, reached 90 percent completion, about a week later than in 1967. SPRING GRAINS were virtually all seeded by the middle of May. Cool temperatures retarded growth somewhat in late May and early June. Soil moisture was generally adequate for spring grain development in the central and southern parts of the State. Grains in the important northeastern counties suffered considerably from dry weather. Spring wheat and feed grain harvest progressed normally until near the end of August when cool, wet weather held harvest at a standstill for nearly two weeks. Harvest was completed by the middle of September. The yields were good and above 1967. Irrigation water was adequate and less than average hail losses were reported. Later than usual killing frosts made up for the slow start of irrigated crops. Total acreage of all major crops was 8,209,500 acres, 5 percent less than the previous year. ALL WHEAT production at nearly 126 million bushels was a record high, 6 percent more than the previous record high produced in 1967. LIVESTOCK Heavy supplemental feeding occurred Statewide from mid-December 1967 through mid-January 1968 during extremely cold weather. February weather was unusually mild and supplemental feeding was minimal. The relatively mUd winter was favorable for livestock and conserved hay supplies. Calving, lambing and shearing began in early February and by late March had passed the one-third mark. Condition of newborn calves and lambs was excellent, with losses below normal. At the beginning of April, temperatures were nearly ideal for survival of newborn calves and lambs. Due to a mild winter, as well as a near-record hay crop in 1967, no hay shortages were reported. Growth of range grasses was somewhat slow in the spring due to cool and windy days, and low nighttime temperatures. During the week April 12-19, 60 percent of the range livestock were receiving supplemental feed. Movement of range livestock to summer ranges started about May 1 and was virtually completed at mid-June. Calving and lambing were completed about the same time. Livestock were in good condition during the summer, and forage available for grazing was generally adequate. Rains received in August brightened the outlook for late summer and fall grazing. Montana stockmen left livestock on summer ranges longer than usual in order to utilize the generous fall regrowth of grass. September rains allowed extended use of summer ranges. Movement of range livestock from summer ranges began the first week of September and at the end of the month was about 35 percent complete. On November 1 , 85 percent of the range livestock had been moved to winter ranges or to market. Supplies of hay and forage for feeding were adequate. Montana's stockmen had 2,984,000 cattle and calves including dairy stock on hand January 1 , 1969. This was the first time in six years that Montana's cattle numbers did not increase over the previous year. Stock sheep and lambs totaled 1.225,000 head on January 1, 1969, 4 percent fewer than the previous year's inventory. STATE OF MONTANA 7 MONTANA CROPS AND LIVESTOCK - 1969 Winter weather became progressively colder during December 1968, with severe cold temperatures covering all of the State by the end of the month. Frequent periods of snow gave heavy amounts of precipitation and snow depths ranged from 3-17 inches, providing good winter wheat cover. On January 1, 1969, grazmg by livestock was difficult, requiring heavy supplemental feeding. Due to the extreme low temperatures and deep snow, ranchers had great difficulty doing their farm chores and feeding and caring for their livestock. However, by April 1 , only a few snowdrifts remained to remind Montanans of the fierce 1968-69 winter. On April 25-26, winter weather returned as a spring blizzard with higli winds and drifting snow occurred in the southeastern district. Deep drifts of snow were piled up and many miles of telephone lines went down. This storm will be unforgettable to many farmers and ranchers. Sheep and cattle losses were. significant. Soil moisture conditions remained short for most of the 1969 growing season. The spring thaw in April was fairly slow and orderly with only local flooding. Water runoff filled nearly all the stockwater reservoirs but much of the water soaked into the ground. Moisture in the form of snow, hail and rain accompanied by freezing weather were received in June. Beneficial amounts of moisture fell in western and southcentral Montana. Topsoil moisture was short in all other areas, with critical shortages in the northcentral, northeast and central districts. By the middle of June, crops in nearly all areas of the State were showing stress from lack of moisture. The widespread lack of moisture slowed plant growth but rain was received the last week in June, replenishing topsoil moisture and improving growing conditions. Hail fell in Judith Basin County and in areas of the northcentral district with some farmers experiencing a complete crop loss. After the middle of August, irrigation water became short in many areas and by September, topsoil moisture was short throughout Montana. Lightning started several forest and grassland fires but they were controlled before extensive damage occurred. CROPS Seeding of the 1969 WINTER WHEAT crop started in late August of 1968 and was near completion by mid-October. Good to excellent germination of new seedings was reported. On April 1, 1969 most of the winter wheat fields were green with only a few remaining dormant. Some fields eroded more than normal and damage by cutworms caused some reseeding. Some of the winter wheat crop was damaged by frost on June 12-13 and later cut for hay. Wheat streak mosaic was reported in many areas with the heaviest damage in Yellowstone County. The 1969 winter wheat harvest got started the first of August and was completed during the last week of September. The uneven ripening of fields had caused some delay in harvesting progress. High winds in August caused shattering of wheat in many areas of the State, but yields were generally good and better than expected. Test weights and protein content were above the previous year for most of the State. Field tillage and planting of SPRING CROPS started during the first week of April in the southeast portion of the State and in a few other favorable areas. The spring season was generally two weeks behind normal because many fields were still too wet to work. Planting of all spring crops were virtually completed the first week in June. The light to heavy frost in June also caused damage to hay, corn, beans and potatoes. Cutting of alfalfa hay started June 1 and was near completion by August 1 5 . Harvest of oats and barley started the second week of August and spring wheat shortly thereafter. Harvest progressed under favorable conditions and was completed the third week of September. The protein in spring wheat exceeded the level of the previous year. In late August and early September, the harvesting of flaxseed, dry beans and corn silage was getting underway and by mid-October was completed. Digging of potatoes began in mid-September, but shortly thereafter a freeze caused some damage to tubers. Potato harvesting was virtually complete by the end of October. The harvesting of sugarbeets got started the last week in September and made good progress until delayed by snow and cold temperatures in October, and muddy fields and frozen topsoil in November. Sugarbeet harvesting was nearly complete by November 10. LIVESTOCK Livestock came through the exceptionally long, hard and cold winter, in fair to good condition. Some loss of cattle was reported where the ranchers .depended on the open range and supplemental feeding wasn't started soon enough. Many winter ranges opened up for grazing by the first week of April but 90 percent of the State's livestock were still receiving supplemental feed. Ranchers began moving range livestock to spring and summer ranges in late April. Calving was completed in early May and lambing was completed during the second week of May. Sheep shearing was completed during the first week of June. A snowstorm on April 25-26 caused losses of new born calves, lambs and recently shorn sheep. Movement of range livestock to summer ranges was completed by the middle of June. Stock-water was generally adequate but many springs and stockponds dried up. Movement of range livestock from summer ranges began the first week of September and was completed by mid-November. The dry, late summer left much of the cured range grass brittle, which resulted in breakage and waste when grazed by livestock. Supplies of hay, forage and range feed were adequate throughout most of the State for the winter. On January 1 , 1970, the number of cattle and calves in the State was up one percent; sheep and lambs decreased 6 percent and chickens decreased 5 percent from the prior year; hogs and pigs on December 1 were down 9 percent. Montana's rank in numbers of livestock among the States at the beginning of 1970 was as follows: All cattle and calves, 13th; beef cows, 7th; stock sheep, 4th; all hogs, 30th; and chickens, 41st.
