A troubled farm economy resulting from low prices and the disastrous drought was quickly reflected in the main streets of Montana towns and the state's economy as a whole. In times like these, Montanans engaged in the business of agriculture must make increasingly complex managerial decisions based on accurate data. Agricultural statistics provides a picture of the past and tools to use in working toward an improving future. I hope this publication will provide you with the background to make your important business decisions for tomorrow.

MOM \N \ 5'«i2()-ll2(ll TELEPHONE AREA CODE 406 444 3144 KEITH KELLY DIRECTOR MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Low prices for many of our agricultural commodities and reevaluation of land prices continue to affect many Montana producers. In spite of this, there are signs we are making progress. Livestock prices have shown some strength and the rains came at the right time in most areas of the state. Crop yields and pastures were better statewide than they have been for years. These factors and other economic indicators provide reason for cautious optimism that the economy of the agricultural industry is improving. Realizing the importance of agriculture to Montana's overall economy, this spells good news for the state as a whole. Difficult times compound the need for accurate and timely information upon which to base business decisions. I hope the information contained in this Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin will be a valuable tool in that decision making process. Sincerely, KEITH KELLY Director An A/firmalive Action/Equal Employment Opportunily/£mployer 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 department to enter the 80 's with a posture of progressively serving Montana agriculture. The department director is responsible for administration of the department's $4.9 million annual budget and its 73 full time and 15 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 administrati^'e 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 4,421 pesticide products; the certification and licensing of 1,149 commercial and government applicators, 745 operators, 605 pesticide dealers, and 7,831 private applicators. The division is also responsible for enforcement of the pesticide act and rules; providing technical environmental 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 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 and licenses for 5,200 bee yards., 550 nurseries, 650 feed dealers, 350 fertilizer 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 provides 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. The Rural Development program is responsible for making grants and lower interest-rate loans available to rural youth, rural youth organizations, and other qualified farmers and ranchers. The division's Marketing Program is responsible for identifying major needs and priorities by coordinating agricultural product development through improvement of direct markets from the producer to the consumer. Statewide agricultural statistics and projections are developed through a Federal/State cooperative agreement administered through the division, which are made available through a comprehensive agricultural statistics bulletin and grain movement summary along with other production, price , and income reports. The division's Agricultural Assistance Program is responsible for providing peer counseling, financial consulting, and debt mediation assistance. The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee 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 and Barley Committee. The unit contracts with Montana State University for work in areas such as barley improvement, disease control, insect control, and cropping practices. Foreign market promotion includes U.S. Wheat Associates membership as one of 1 3 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 promotions 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 1987, Montana producers purchased 3,036 policies from the unit worth a record $34 million 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 steadily over the past three years. The program insures any type of crop grown in Montana from losses caused by hail damage. The maximum rate charged is 10 percent for standard grain crops.

BOX 4369 " HELENA. MONTANA 59604 (406) 449-5303 FOREWORD The service of tabulating and publishing agricultural statistics began over a century ago to provide the nation's farmers and ranchers with production and marketing information. This information was vital to producers because it gave them statistical data comparable to that obtained by buyers through their own surveys or other channels. The rapid consolidation of food companies into large, integrated operations means accurate, public information is even more critical today. Many Montana producers are recovering from the drouth and severe financial stress we saw in 1983-86. They are paying off debts and are acquiring less short term debt than in the past. But others are not so lucky — continued foreclosures and debt restructuring indicate that, for some, recovery was too late or insufficient to avoid the pain and disruption of loss. This publication provides data users with a comprehensive summary of state and county statistics for Montana. Agriculture remains the most important industry in Montana. Sales from the state's 23,600 farms and ranches contributed 1.5 billion dollars to the economy in 1986. This year, we have responded to the demands of data users to provide special statistics on wheat and barley varieties, farm financial conditions, grain movement and wheat utilization. Most of this information would not be available without funding support from the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee. The information in this publication comes from the best source — the producers and agri-businessmen in Montana. We appreciate the high level of cooperation we receive from them in answering our survey questionnaires . We also want to thank our dedicated staff of statisticians, support personnel, and field and telephone interviewers who collect and summarize this information. We also appreciate the many hours of hard work by Wendy Bruski who had overall responsibility for the bulletin's layout, design and computer processing. Viyfi^ H. Pratt State Statistician MONTANA CROPS and LIVESTOCK - 1986 January; Record breaking warm temperatures ranged from the mid 40's to low 60's. Precipitation varied widely with central regions less than half of normal while other areas had 80% normal. The winter wheat crop was 47% good at the end of the month. February; Weather turned cold as temperatures returned to seasonal levels. Precipitation well above normal as heavy rain and snow fell at mid-month. The winter wheat crop was reported as 67% fair and 33% good. Calving and lambing was about 35% completed by month's end. March; Warm temperatures across Montana ranged from 7 to 15 degrees above normal to slightly below. The winter wheat crop remained in fair to good condition. In some areas winter wheat v/as greening by the end of the month. Calving and lambing was nearly 50% complete. Apri 1; Fairly mild temperatures vvere interrupted in mid-month by severely cold weather which resulted in calf and lamb losses. Precipitation was light which put planting of spring grains ahead of normal. Calving and lambing were 80% complete. Hay; Cool and wet conditions slowed planting and by month's end progress was average. Livestock were moving to summer pastures at a normal rate with 50% moved. June; Unseasonably hot weather early in the month coupled with moderate precipitation spurred rapid development of crops and pastures. Crop conditons were mostly good to excellent. First cutting of alfalfa was 10% behind average. July: Temperatures and precipitation were mostly normal, with the exception of sub-freezing temperature in the west and southwest at mid- month. Winter wheat harvest got underway by the 15th. Severe infestation of grasshoppers occurred in the eastern and central parts of the state. August; Hot and dry weather left topsoil moisture very short in many areas. Dry weather allowed harvesting activities to progress normally. Grasshopper and aphid activity declined somewhat. Late season crops growth and conditions were mostly good. September: Very wet conditions halted small grain harvest and reduced grain quality over many areas of Montana. Serious flooding occurred along the Milk River. Cattle and sheep movement from summer ranges was normal and grazing prospects rated mostly fair to good. October; Continued precipitation the first half of month stalled the drive toward final harvest. Nice weather later on permitted farmers to finish up on small grain and second cutting alfalfa. One-third of the winter wheat emerged. Two-thirds of the cattle and sheep were moved from summer pastures . November: The winter wheat crop was approximately 80 percent emerged when cold weather brought dormancy. Snow cover protection was average and winter wheat conditions was mostly fair. Temperatures averaged below normal over the entire state for the period. December; Temperatures were generally normal while precipitation was about 70% of normal. Snow cover protection deteriorated, but the winter wheat crop remained fair. Grazing on winter ranges was mostly open and water supplies adequate.

Crop sales during 1986 recovered from the sharp reductions suffered during 1985 due to drouth and were up 17 percent. Livestock sales dropped 19 percent to a more normal level after herd liquidations boosted sales in 1985. Total agricultural receipts in 1986 (including government payments) were up 4 percent from 1985. Receipts from all other industries were also up in 1986, except for oil and gas which were down sharply.

Wheat and wheat products accounted for about three-fourths of the total value of exports for the state. Value of United States agricultural commodities exported for the year ending September 30, 1986, decreased 16 percent from the previous fiscal year. Wheat and wheat products accounted for about 13 percent of the total value of the national exports.
