The information contained in this bulletin assists agricultural producers in evaluating alternatives and in making informed decisions within a dynamic industry. Through the dedication and persistence of agricultural business people, our state's number one industry has endured many difficulties. Montana producers continue to provide consumers with an abundance of excellent quality products. Enhanced opportunities for agricultural products processed in Montana have functioned to create and retain jobs. This places more value on our quality agricultural products. The dedication of our agricultural producers, in combination with changing world markets, have provided the ability to capitalize on opportunities to add value. With our exceptional high quality products, we will continue to make agriculture the economic basis of Montana. Sincerely, Stan Stephens Governor Montana Agricultural Statistics 1991 Foreword 3 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Montana's economic foundation is agriculture, its largest and most important industry. It is this foundation that allows our farmers and ranchers to readily adapt to the impacts of the industry's high rate of change. The high rate of change in the agricultural industry offers many opportunities in areas such as new innovations in biotechnology and world markets in terms of export opportunities. As we progress into the 1990's these advances make us increasingly aware of the significance of alternatives and the importance of adding value to our agricultural base. As we look forward, the degree of change and technology development will be incredible. It is essential that Montana's agricultural industry be prepared to capitalize on these advances. Reliable and accurate information such as is provided through the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin is necessary in order to accommodate the agricultural businesses impacted by the rapid changes within the industry. The bulletin provides statistics and information to generate ideas and make accurate and informed decisions. Sincerely, Everett Snortland Director 4 Foreword 1991 Montana Agricultural Statistics '^ NOTES FROM THE STATE STATISTICIAN We are proud to present you with this twenty- eighth edition of "Montana Agricultural Statistics." The information provided in this report would not be possible without the continued support of Montana's farmers, ranchers, and agri-businessmen. They provide the basic input to this and other reports by voluntarily answering our survey questionnaires. I wish I could personally thank each of them for their efforts. Agriculture continues to be Montana's largest industry. During 1990, it contributed nearly 2.1 billion dollars to the state's economy. Cattle and calf production remained the largest single enterprise followed by wheat and barley production. The producers in Montana faced many difficulties during the 1980's. However, you again proved you were adaptable. Many of you learned to manage your operation more efficiently and others began to look for alternative enterprises. The diversity of the types of products you have added to your operations is really fascinating. Therefore, this year we have chosen to highlight just some of the various commodities that are being raised in Montana. It is difficult to measure the impact that these "specialty" items have had on our state's economy. But, we do know that the bulk of our farm income is derived from the livestock and grain enterprises. This report continues to provide the unbiased state and county statistics for these commodities. Again, thank all of you for your support. Thanks also to our staff of statisticians, technicians and enumerators who are dedicated to providing you wdth high quality, timely information. A special thank you to Wendy Bruski, who had overall responsibility for the layout, design, and production of this report. V*~^ ^ • >i>«-»X»^ James K.

Statistics 1991 General 7 MONTANA CROP, LIVESTOCK, AND WEATHER DIGEST, 1990 JANUARY: The month was very warm and mostly dry. Grazing was open in about half the state. Winter wheat was in fair to good condition with ample snow cover protection in most areas. Wind damage was light. FEBRUARY: Warm and dry conditions continued except for a cold snap at mid-month. Winter wheat condition declined slightly due to strong winds and melted snow cover. Wind damage was mostly light to moderate. Grazing remained open. MARCH: Another warm month with normal precipitation. Winter wheat started to green during the month and was mostly in good to excellent condition. Calving and lambing weather was good for most of the month. APRIL: Critically dry conditions developed in the eastern part of the state, and rainfall was also below normal in many other areas. Except for the east, soil moisture was mostly adequate. Planting made good progress. MAY: Planting small grains was virtually completed. Soil moisture was mostly adequate except in the eastern sections. Crop condition was rated good to excellent. JUNE: Serious drought develops in Northeast Montana. Crop growth progress was about average. Abnormal heat the last of the month depleted soil moisture in much of the state. JULY: A hot and dry month. Crops were maintained largely by scattered showers. Good rains fell over the North Central area the last week. In over two-thirds of the state, soil moisture was rated short for most of the month. AUGUST: Small grains harvest was ahead of normal. Yields in the northeast were sharply lower than other areas. Rains at month's end caused some sprouting of malting barley. SEPTEMBER: Small grains harvest completed. Winter wheat seeded in dry soils. In the drier areas, emergence was adversely affected and seeding was halted. The month was generally warm and dry. OCTOBER: Harvesting of all crops virtually completed. Soils remained dry. Winter wheat condition rated mostly poor to fair. Stands were uneven in the driest areas, especially southern slopes. NOVEMBER: Soils abnormally dry. Winter wheat mostly poor to fair. Grazing conditions were good, but supplemental feed was required in the drier areas. DECEMBER: Extreme cold during the last half of the month. Winter wheat had little or no snow cover protection at the start of the cold. Grazing ended raising feed requirements. 8 General 1991 Montana Agricultural Statistics CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA: 1989-1990 Precipitation and Number of Days Between Freezing Temperatures COUNTY & DISTRICT Deer Lodge . .

As producers look for options to diversify their operations for increased profitability and to keep pace with the changing market environment, crops such as buckwheat reemerge as a viable option and new crops such as canola become part of Montana's agricultural landscape. A selection of some of these alternative crops are shown below. BERSEEM CLOVER Berseem clover, or Egyptian clover, is an upright-growing annual legume and a cool-season forage crop. Egypt is the world's largest producer of berseem where it serves as a winter forage crop. Bigbee and Multicut are the two principal varieties of berseem clover and have been grown successfully in tests as a summer annual in Montana. Belonging to the legume family, chickling vetch is a pea-like annual or perennial herb. The leafy, climbing plant is grown for fodder and as a green manure. The flowers are white, blue or violet. CHICKPEAS (QCER) Chickpeas are an annual plant belonging to the legume family. They are sometimes cultivated in vegetable gardens for the edible ripe seeds; the pods usually contain two seeds each. The peas can be eaten boiled or roasted, and are used in soup or as a substitute for coffee; some kinds are also used for horse feed. The chickpea plant is bushy and hairy and grows about two feet high, yielding 500-1,000 pounds per acre. FIELD PEAS BLACK MEDIC Research has been conducted at Montana State University on the uses for black medic, "...Black Medic has great potential for revegetation, nitrogen fixation, cover crop, pasture renovation, and dryland agricultural purposes." Other uses include agricultural crop rotations, soil building, wildlife forage, roadside mix, and seed sprouting for human consumption. BUCKWHEAT Buckwheat is a short season plant, maturing in ten to twelve weeks. Buckwheat is grown for human consumption, with worldwide applications in pancake mixes, breakfast cereals, poultry dressing, breads and ethnic dishes. CANOLA Canola, a variety of rapeseed in the mustard family, is the fastest growing oilseed crop in the world. Production of edible rapeseed grown in Montana is increasing with market demand and availability of oil seed crushers and local dealers. Canola contains the lowest level of saturated fat and the highest level of unsaturated fat of any edible vegetable oil. A member of the legume family, field peas are a tall, annual herb grown for fodder, as a vegetable, and for its seeds (used for split pea soup). Native to Europe. FLAX Flax is harvested for its seed and fiber products. The straw fiber is used to make fine paper. Seeds are processed into linseed oil (a high-quality drying agent), and livestock feed cake, which is left after oil extraction. Of the little flax that is grown in Montana, most is transported to other areas for processing. KABOCHA SQUASH In Japanese, kabocha is a generic word for pumpkin or squash. Like all vegetable crops, kabocha is a heavy feeder and is more labor-intensive than grain crops. It is easier to handle than more delicate vegetables and can be effective against some weeds. Much of the kabocha squash produced in Montana is grown in the Yellowstone Valley. Center 2 1991 Montana Agricultural Statistics SPECIALTY CROPS .^ISLr.'- ^SMKj 'riffrtt^. o .m^^ >fi>7> tLnr-, \ .^.

The initial marketing of spearmint oil is through the producer who distills the oil from spearmint hay and sells the oil to a buyer. The United States supplies both domestic and foreign markets and is the primary world supplier of spearmint oU. Soybeans are used for food and feed, and are also a good source for several industrial products. Printers ink can be made from soybean oil, and it can be used to suppress dust in grain elevators and in swine-feeding facilities. When added to the feed, soybean oil also provides a higher energy content, which enhances weight gain. MUSTARD/RAPESEED Mustard is an herb in the Cruciferae family. Species are grov^Ti for use as potherbs and for their seeds used in the manufacture of the condiment. Species include, white mustard, potherb mustard, and black mustard. Rapeseed is a member of the mustard family (Brassica). High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil is valued for its unique properties as an industrial lubricant; standards call for a minimum of 45% erucic acid. Oils with erucic acid levels between 2% and 45% are not acceptable for either edible or industrial use. RED KIDNEY BEAN (UGHT) A member of the legume family, the kidney bean is a tropical, annual herb widely and popularly cultivated for its edible seed or pod. SUNFLOWERS Belonging to the Asteraceae family, sunflowers are an annual herb standing 3-15 feet high. The disk flowers are brown, yellow, or purple, and the ray flowers are yellow. The leaves are used for fodder, the flowers produce a yellow dye, and the seeds contain oil and are used for food. Not only do sunflowers produce snacks and oil, red dye can be extracted from the seed hulls and used as a substitute for synthetic colorants. SWEET LUPIN Sweet white lupin is an upright, heavy stem plant, belonging to the legume family. Healthy plants have a cluster of 5-7 pods, each containing 3-7 seeds. Choosing appropriate land is important in sweet white lupin production. TEFF ROSES Roses are a major cut flower in the United States, and competition is high. Imports reached millions of dollars in 1988, and as a result of lower labor and energy costs, prices were usually lower than domestic prices. Competitive advantages are based on favorable climate conditions, transportation and proximity to metropolitan areas, and availability of workers. A member of the Gramineae family, teff is a fragrant grass grown for its cereal grain and as an ornament. Native to North Africa. SAFFLOWER Safflower is an annual oil seed crop that provides four commercial products, including bird seed, a small but growing market; edible oil, the largest market; meal, and foots (the residue of oil refining). Montana growers produce oil that is high in a poly- rnsaturated fatty acid necessary in human nutrition.
