1992 CROP PRODUCTION

Montana's 1992 small grain growing season started early and finished late. Warm,
dry weather through the winter months encouraged winter wheat to break dormancy early,
and by the end of February about 30 percent of the acreage was out of dormancy.

All wheat production in 1992 totaled 139.6 million bushels, 12 percent less than last
year's large crop, but 5 percent above the five-year average.

Barley production, from 27 percent fewer acres than last year, was down 38 percent,
and was 2 1 percent less than the five-year average.
