HUGO ARONSC^N GOVERNOR r\^ ^Ms of Montana Ciffice of tEljc (ioUernor November 29, 1956 Mr. Albert Kruse Commissioner of Agriculture State Capitol Helena, Montana Dear Mr. Kruse: The major position that agriculture plays in the welfsire of the people of Montana dictates that complete and current information is essential. The cooperation between the state of Montana and the federal agencies involved in agriculture has been a source of real pleasure to me. The role played by Mr. P. J. Creer, the Agricultural Statistician in charge of the Montana Office of the Agricultural Estimates Division of the Agricultural Marketing Service, has been out- standing. This cooperation demonstrates how agriculture has become more ajd more dependent on national and international economy and political developments. The detailed agricultural statistics contained in this volume will be extremely valuable to all of Nfontana. Yours sincerely, (^^ .3. ,\Cy.S>l STATE OF MONTANA PREFACE Products from the soil have been, and will always be, basic to the sustenance of life. People who are capable of taking more from the soil with less effort enjoy a more abundant life. Among other nations, America stands out as a great pro- ducer of goods and has no equal in the capacity to produce food and fiber. Most of this ability has come within the last four decades through education, equipment and facilities and technological developments. A larger volume of raw products can now be taken from the soil with less manpower. This places America's agricul- ture in a much more sensitive position with respect to the Nation's economy. Slight pressures can now be responsible for overproduction or underproduction of goods. Through knowledge of current supplies and needs, production can be kept in balance with consumption. This keeps agriculture on a more even keel and is to the ad- vantage of processors and consumers, as well as the producers of agricultural commodities. The Agricultural Estimates Division of the Agricultural Marketing Service, United States Department of Agriculture is responsible for assembling and publish- ing facts on agriculture. Data relating to production, supply and price of com- modities for Montana and the United States are issued frequently in mimeographed form by the agency office in Helena. To accommodate the need for county and district data not available under the Federal program, this bulletin has been pre- pared under a cooperative agreement with the Montana Department of Agriculture. Funds appropriated by the Montana Legislature have made it possible to supply many interested persons, in and outside the State, with more detailed information on Montana's agriculture. IN TfflS ISSUE Each of the five previous issues of this biennial bulletin have contained county crop and livestock statistics. They have also carried State crop and livestock data and information relating to subjects of special interest. This bulletin is similar to the previous issue in arrangement and coverage of material, and presents a con- tinued series of most data published previously. Official crop and livestock estimates are prepared largely from information collected on a sample basis by mail from farm and ranch operators. Record data available at the close of the marketing period, such as shipments; market and pro- cessing plant receipts, etc., occasionally justify the revision of estimates. Also, the Census of Agriculture, taken at five-year intervals, serves as a base point for esti- mates and may require revision of data for several previous years. Since some revisions have been made as a result of the 1954 Census, the State data appearing in this bulletin supersede those in previous issues. Contents of this bulletin are as follows: Climate Data and Freeze Data, pages 5 and 6, for selected stations provide ap- proximate indications of moisture and temperature patterns. However, the infor- mation for a single station does ont fully reflect the climate for the county in which it is located. Cash Receipts, page 7, places the 1955 income for Montana farmers and ranchers at a level below 1954 and several other recent years. Cash values of agricultural products used on farms and ranches are not included. Cash receipts by counties, pages 8 and 9, present a comparison of 1954 and 1955 income and the division of income between crops, livestock and government payments. The number of farms and ranches receiving the income were fewer in 1955. Montana Crops and Livestock During 1954 and 1955, pages 10 and 11, sum- marizes factors affecting crop production and livestock marketings. The year 1955 goes on record for the universally high yields per acre of both irrigated and dryland crops. All Crops, acreage and value of crop production, page 7, points up the im- portance of irrigation to Montana's agriculture. During the decade 1946 to 1955, the value of crops harvested from irrigated land, (18 percent of the total land 4 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS cropped) was 26 percent of the total value. In the severe drought year of 1934, the value of crops taken from irrigated land was 63 percent of the total. County values per acre for irrigated and non-irrigated crops, pages 12 and 13, vary widely because of soil productivity and length of season which limits the growing of some high value crops. Stale Crop Tables, pages 14-24, present total, irrigated and non-irrigated, data for the 12 years 1944-55. Crops grown principally or entirely on irrigated or on non-irrigated land are so indicated by appropriate sub-titles. State Livestock Tables, pages 25-30, also cover the 1944-55 period. They contain inventory numbers by age and sex groups, disposition and value of the principal kinds of livestock and livestock products. County Crop Tables, pages 31-59, show 1954 and 1955 acres planted and har- vested, yield per acre, production and value for the total crop, acres harvested and yield per acre separately for irrigated and non-irrigated land. Counties with insignificant production are ommitted from these tables. County Livestock Tables, pages 60-65, list the January 1 inventory numbers of the principal livestock and poultry for the years 1950-56. The 1956 inventory is tentative and subject to revision. Wheat Variety and Cropping Practice Data, pages 66-82, relate to thirty-two principal wheat producing counties. Acreage, yield and production in 1955 appear for the leading varieties grown in the State. The cropping practice data reflect a continued trend in alternate summer fallowing of wheat land during the years 1945 to 1955. This is most pronounced in spring wheat as readily noted from the State table on page 82. Wheal Production By Protein Groups and cropping practices, pages 83-88, sum- marizes and brings up-to-date similar information previously issued. County data points up the areas in the State where wheat protein is significant. County Wheat Tables, pages 89 to 96, covering the years 1952-55, continue and supersede the last two years of the series which appeared in Volume V. Page 97 presents similar data for the State from 1916 to 1955. County Census Tables, pages 98-103, contain farm numbers, acreage, farm facil- ities and equipment and farms reporting principal kinds of livestock for 1950 and 1954.

The acreage of all crops harvested, at 9,203,600 acres was about 5 percent under the harvested acreage in 1953, but considerably above that of the preceding decade. The opening of the 1954 crop season was accompanied by cool weather and below normal precipitation. These conditions prevailed until July. Seeding oper- ations were timely due to light rainfall, but crop germination was generally satis- factory. Hot, dry weather during July resulted in high abandonment of some grain and seed crops, and lowered yields for the balance. The harvest was hindered by excessive rainfall and hail. Some late crops were benefitted by the moisture, but the resulting delay in harvesting and the damage from hail caused an overall reduc- tion in yields. Montana's wheat crop of 82,856,000 bushels was about 27 percent less than the record high 1953 crop of 114,232,000 bushels. Winter wheat production was 40,536,- 000 bushels, setting a new record. The average yield per acre of 24 bushels was equalled only in 1942 and 1948. Spring wheat production declined as a result of a smaller harvested acreage and lower yields per acre. In 1954, spring wheat com- prised only 51 percent of the total wheat production as compared with 72 percent the previous year. Oat production was 4 percent smaller than the 1953 crop, due to poor weather conditions during the growing and han^esting seasons. However, barley production rose substantially as a result of a sharp increase in acreage which was caused by acreage diversions from wheat. Barley production was 24 percent above the for- mer record high which occurred in 1948. Production of hay in 1954 was 2.9 million tons as compared with 3.1 million tons in 1953. The decline is attributed to large carryover stocks and a smaller amount of acreage cut. Lower precipitation also lowered yields of non-irrigated hay. Flaxseed production continued the climb which began in 1953 with an increase of 58 percent. This production resulted from a large increase in acreage, but a lower average yield per acre. Mustard seed production also advanced sharply from 6,552,000 pounds in 1953, to 8,682,000 in 1954. The larger crop was due to in- creases in both yield per acre and the number of acres harvested. Although alfalfa seed acreage was smaller than the year before, higher yields increased production about 43 percent. Crested wheatgrass seed production, how- ever, dropped considerably due to smaller yields from less acreage. The production of sugar, beets, dry beans and potatoes was greater than in 1953 due to increased harvested acreage. The yields per acre, however, were lower for each, with the exception of potatoes as a result of hail and untimely precipitation. Seed pea production was reduced by hot, dry weather which mainly affected those grown on non-irrigated land in Flathead County. Hot, dry weather reduced corn yields 2.5 bushels per acre and lowered total production as compared to 1953. Cherry production continued high in 1954 and apple production was much better than during 1953. Livestock: Montana's cattle population rose 4 percent during 1954, increasing the number of cattle and calves on farms on January 1, 1955 to 2,395,000 head. Prices were generally lower than those of 1953 until August, but were higher for the balance of the year. Range conditions, although at times slightly lower than in 1953, were generally good except in the drier sections of southeastern and south- western Montana. Marketings for the year were about 20 percent greater than in 1953. Sheep and lambs numbered 1,756,000 head at the close of 1953. Higher lamb prices induced a 4 percent increase in pen feeding for market, although the lamb crop was smaller. Hogs on farms on January 1, 1955, totaled 112,000 head, an increase of almost one-fourth during the year. Horse and mule numbers declined about 7 percent, but the chicken population held relatively steady. STATE OF MONTANA II CROPS AND LIVESTOCK IN MONTANA DURING 1955 Crops: Total crop production in 1955 attained a record high volume. It sur- passed the 1953 record high by 7 percent, was 19 percent above last year and ex- ceeded average production during the preceding decade. The 1955 crop season opened cool, wet and late. Spring snow and excessive rainfall delayed the planting of spring crops and some early seeded acres of beans and grains had to be reseeded. All planting operations were extended to late June. Cool, damp weather led to excessive stooling of grains and vegetative growth was luxuriant during the early summer. Grass and legume hay fields and pastures made excellent growth, but much of the hay crop was lost or damaged by wet weather during July. Excellent summer growing conditions hastened maturity of the late seeded crops. Ideal fall weather assured a full and excellent harvest. Wheat production in 1955 was very high in relation to previous years, as a re- sult of excellent per acre yields. Acreage harvested was further reduced by acre- age allotments, but production in 1955 was only about 4 percent less than the all- time high in 1953. Due to very favorable seeding conditions during the fall of 1954, a record acreage of winter wheat was seeded and there was excellent survival due to mild winter. Spring wheat acreage was divided between durum and other spring wheats (hard red spring). More durum was raised as a result of the acreage allotment program and the price advantage in favor of durum. Production of this crop amounted to 28 percent of the national crop and placed Montana in second place as a durum producer. However, it accounted for only 10 percent of the spring wheat produced in the State. The total production of oats and barley in 1955 increased materially. Acreage was expanded due to restrictions on wheat planting and excellent yields and were realized as a result of ideal growing conditions. Hay production amounted to 3.05 million tons in 1955, down only slightly from 1953. Near record yields were realized in several parts of Southern Montana, but wet weather in other areas of the State cut statewide yields. Low yields also occurred in several western counties as a result of cool and dry weather in that section. Flaxseed acreage declined about 40 percent because of unfavorable seeding con- ditions, but unusually good yields per acre pushed production 2 percent to 672,000 bushels. Mustard seed production was expanded by almost 300 percent. At 30,- 799,000 pounds, it was 86 percent above the average for the preceding ten years. Alfalfa seed acreage and production rose 22 and 17 percent, respectively. Sharply lower prices and dry weather west of the Divide caused a sharp reduction in harvested red clover seed acreage, and a corresponding reduction in production. Sweetclover seed production increased 36 percent and crested wheatgrass seed pro- duction was 7 percent greater. Corn production was 77 percent higher than in 1954, as a result of increased acreage and the highest recorded average yield per acre since 1916. Most irrigated crops achieved excellent production, but some dry bean yields were lowered by hail during the harvest season. The average yield of 14.5 tons per acre for sugar beets was the highest of record. Cherry production was down slightly from the level of the last two years, but apple production gained slightly. Livestock: Cattle and calves on Montana farms and ranches increased 5 per- cent during 1954 to 2,515,000 head on January 1, 1956. Prices advanced until August, but were depressed for the rest of the year. Marketings increased slightly over 1954, but due to low prices and extremely good feed supplies and ranges, more cattle than usual were wintered and held for spring marketing. The January 1, 1956 sheep and lamb inventory at 1,757,000 head was virtually unchanged from a year earlier. Spring storms contributed to unusual death losses and a smaller lamb crop. Declining prices throughout the year reduced market- ings. The hog population expanded 26 percent during 1955 to 141,000 head on January 1, 1956. The number of horses and mules dropped 6 percent during 1955, and the inventory of chickens on farms was reduced 3 percent. 12 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS ALL CROPS, ffiRIGATED AND NON-IRRIGATED — 1954 Acres Harvested, and Value of Crop Production Irrigated Non-Irrigated COUNTY Acres & Har- DISTRICT vested Deer Lodge 14,600 Flathead 10,850 Granite 30,150 Lake 66.730 Lincoln 0,310 Mineral 1,310 Missoula 32,600 Powell 62,250 Ravalli 65,650 Sanders 13,150 X.

is grown principally on dry land under climatic con- ditions favorable to the development of pi-otein. High protein wheat is used for blending with wheats of lower protein content and for individual processing for various types of flour.
