FOREWORD BY THE GOVERNOR
My Dear Fellow Citizens:
From a strictly materialistic point of view the j^reatest treasure of the
Ti-easure State is its auricultnral potentialities — developed and undeveloped.
The divei-sity of these potentialities is almost limitless when development
is carried to the ultinuite throufih co-operative and scientific methods of
research, backed liy systematic manap-emcnt and the always necessary basic
ingredient of i)l;iin evcry-day hard work.
^lontana lias iiuiny other resources of which she is justly proud and which
add g-reatly to her aui-a of fame. However, none of them holds forth sndi
a treasury of possibilities for a lirowin^-. far-seeing- Treasni'e State ])opulace
as does ap-riculture.
Combinin<i- theii- efforts over the period of the i)ast tAvo years, tlie !Mon-
tana Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
of the United States Department of Agriculture have gathered togethei- M'hat
appears to be the very best of available statistical material for this ^Montana
Agricultural Bulletin.
This bulletin offers a most complete summary of the State's progress in
its fundamental business of farming, presented comprehensively t)y counties,
and given additional clarit}' through the liberal use of tables, illustrative maps
and charts.
I feel sure the efforts extended in its compilation will be appreciated and
that appreciation demonstrated through widespread and frequent reference
to its contents.
Cordially yours,
Governor.

MONTANA AGRICULTURE
MOTIVES FOR THIS BULLETIN
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics serves as the principal agency of
the United States Department of Agriculture for collection, compilation and
dissemination of agricultural statistics. Througli its field offices a wide
variety of data relating to farm and ranch production, income and expenses
are gathered, assembled and distributed to the public. Information received
in each field office is summarized and processed into state reports which are
then transmitted to the Crop Reporting Board in Washington, D. C, for
review and use in preparing National Reports. Most of the information is
supplied voluntarily by farm and ranch operators and processors of farm
products through mail questionnaires. While the regular program of work
requires the assembly of data on a State basis, tabulations of figures appearing
on returned questionnaires are made by counties and crop reporting districts.
(See map inside front cover for outline of crop reporting districts.) Under a
co-operative agreement between the Montana Department of xVgriculture,
Labor and Industry, and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, with the
Montana Water Conservation Board and Montana State Chamber of Commerce
assisting, facilities have been made available to prepare statistics for Montana
counties contained in this bulletin.
A large number of requests for county data received by the various local
State and Federal agencies concerned with Montana Agriculture, manifest
the need for such information. Such inquiries have come from farm oper-
ators within the State asking for detailed information for their areas to be
used as a basis for planning their cropping and marketing programs, and from
persons residing in other States who are contemplating a farming or ranching
career in ^Montana. Acreages irrigated and the amount of crops produced
under irrigation in each count}^ is needed as a basis for planning future irri-
gation projects. To arrange for economical and equitable distribution of cars
and movement of crops and livestock to market, railroads are in demand of
county statistics. All industries connected with agriculture — machinery
manufacturers, fertilizer manufacturers, seed houses, etc. — call for such
information to serve as guides for determining quantities to be manufactured,,
the location of manufacturing plants and methods of distributing their prod-
ucts. Bankers and P^inanciers base credit for production, storage and market-
ing of crops and insurance comp^uies base insurance and farm loans on thia
information. It serves as a guide to business men for expanding or contract-
ing their operations. State and Federal planning, development and action
agencies set up their programs from these statistics. Directly or indirectly,,
the agricultural industry affects the welfare of all inhabitants of the country^
and while a few uses of agricultural data are mentioned here, the scope is
virtually unlimited.
CONTENTS OF BULLETIN'
Tliis bulletin presents, through a display of tables and charts, a historical
picture of Montana's agricultural production and income. It is comprised of
three general types of data outlined as follows :
-Most of the county statistics for 1944 and 1945, and irrigated and non-irrigated
state statistics for the years 1929 to 1945 were prepared by Michael T. Solan,
John R. Russell, and P. J. Creer. Other employees in the office of the
Agricultural Statistician assisted with the copy work of data printed.
2 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
I. State Historical Statistics:
1. Acreajies planted, acreages harvested, yield per harvested acre, pro-
duction, price, value of production and value of production per acre,
for principal crops grown in the State.
2. Livestock and poultry inventory numbers, value per head and total
value as of January 1 each year.
3. Production, disposition and production value of livestock, poultry,
livestock products, dairy products and poultry products.
4. Annual cash receipts from crops, livestock and livestock products, and
government payments.
II. State Statistics Relating to Irrigated Lands, 1929-1945:
1. Acreages harvested, yield per harvested acre, production, total value
of production, and value per acre of principal crops grown on irrigated
lands in the State.
2. Acreages harvested, yield per harvested acre, production, value of pro-
duction and value per acre of principal crops grown on dry lands
in the State.
III. County Statistics :
1. Acreages harvested, yield per harvested acre and production, from irri-
gated and dry lands for principal crops, 1944 and 1945.
2. Livestock inventory numbers, 1940 to 1945.
MONTANA'S POSITION IN AGRICULTURE
Favored by its rich natural resources set in a laud of scenic beauty,
Montana enjoys one of the top positions in the country for farming and ranch-
ing. During the three-year period, 1943-1945, it held seventh place among
all states in the average realized net (keep home) income of farm operators.
For the year 1944, it ranked third, with an average of $4,173 per operator,
being exceeded by California and Arizona with $6,679 and $4,270 per operator,
respectively. During that year Montana contributed 261 million dollars cash
receipts from agriculture to the nation's total of twenty billion, four hundred
and thirty million dollars. During that year Montana's crops contributed 136
million dollars, and livestock and livestock products one hundred twenty-
five million dollars, ller farmers also received eleven million dollars in the
form of government payments.
Montana is recognized as a leading grain and livestock producing State,
but is also prominent in the production of many other agricultural commodi-
ties. In 1945 her rank among all States in the production of spring wheat
was third, for winter wheat, ninth and barley, sixth. In the production of
alfalfa luiy. she ranked eleventh ; wild hay, sixth ; dry beans, ninth ; dry peas,
third ; flaxseed, fifth ; and sugar beets, third. In production of mustard seed,
Montana has no competition. Approximately three-fourths of the country's
-supply of mustard seed comes from this State. Only Texas exceeds ^loutana
in the number of lambs raised each year and Wyoniing shares second jilace
with the Treasure State in wool production. Twelfth position in production
of beef and veal is held bj- JMontana and she holds a top place in the supply
of feeder cattle which are shipped to feed lots in Corn Belt States for finishing.
During 1945, ^Montana farmers harvested crops from 7,739,000 acres, com-
pared with 6,921.000 acres in 1942. This increase of 12 per cent in cropped
acreage during the last four years of the war was exceeded only by North
Dakota which showed a gain of 14 per cent.

Montana has no competition. Approximately three-fourths of the country's
supply of mustard seed comes from this State. Only Texas exceeds ^Montana
in the number of lambs raised each year and Wyoming shares second place
with the Treasure State in wool production. Twelfth position in production
of beef and veal is held by ^Montana and she holds a top place in the supply
of feeder cattle which are shipped to feed lots in Corn Belt States for finishing.
During 1945, ^Montana farmers harvested crops from 7,739,000 acres, com-
pared Avith 6,921,000 acres in 1942. This increase of 12 per cent in cropped
acreage during the last four years of the war was exceeded only by North
Dakota which showed a gain of 14 per cent.
STATE OF MONTANA 3
IRRIGATION IN MONTANA
Records show that irrigation in ]\Iontana had its bejriniiino- in the Bitter
Root Valley in 1842, when Father De Smet, of the Catholic Mission, irrip-ated
a garden planted with seeds from Colvillo, Washington. During the follow-
ing eight years, wheat, potatoes, and other produce were grown under irriga-
tion in that settlement. After J\Iajor John Owen purchased the mission build-
ings and equipment in 1850, irrigation of crops "was continued.
Following the settlement of Alder Gulcli in Madison County in 1863,
bottom lands were irrigated with crude and small ditches by miners after
placer Avorkings gave out. In the Gallatin and Beaverhead Valleys, which
were among the first to be settled in ^lontana, irrigation developed rapidly.
Bottom land settlers first built individual ditches to irrigate their private
lands but it soon became necessary for them to combine and build ditches
co-operatively for their lands. For many years the direct flow of streams
was sufficient to meet the seasonal demands for water. As the amount of
irrigated land increased about each settlement, and the supply of direct flows
of streams became inadequate, the principal of priority developed, with the
first in time being the first in right. Construction of stoi'age reservoirs to
impound flood waters for use as needed, followed as the next major develop-
ment in irrigation.
Montana now ranks fourth in the amount of cropland and pasture under
irrigation. California, Colorado, and Idaho are the tliree leading States. In
1945, crops were harvested from more than 1,725.000 irrigated acres in this
State having an aggregate value in excess of forty-eight and one-half million
dollars. These irrigated acres amounted to 22 per cent of all harvested acres
and the value of their crops amounted to 31 per cent of the total value of
all crop production. Importance of irrigation in Montana is appreciated more
in times of drought than during periods of good rainfall. For the ten years,
1929-1938, referred to as the drought period, 22 per cent of the harvested
acreage was irrigated and the value of production from these irrigated acres
the total. In 1936, the year of most severe drought, 32 per cent of the cropped
acreage was irrigated and the value of production from these irrigated acres
was 63 percent of the total.
Although irrigation is found in all of Montana's o6 counties, most of the
irrigated land is located in central and western portions. Beaverhead county
heads the list with approximately 210,000 acres, most of which is wild or
meadow hay. The other nine leading counties in order of importance are
Ravalli, Teton, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Madison, Carbon, Lake, Powell, and
Pondera.
Virtually all Montana crops are grown to some extent on irrigated land.
Sugar beets are at the top of the irrigated crop list, with practically all acre-
age in this category. Dry beans follow as a close second with more than four-
fifths of the acreage irrigated. Approximately three-fourths of the dry peas
and two-thirds of the potatoes are now grown under irrigation. xVlfalfa hay
acreage is 62 per cent irrigated and nearly half of the alfalfa seed and wild hay
acreage is in this group. Among the grains, oats has been most prominent with
about 30 per cent irrigated followed by barley with around 15 per cent. Prior to
1942, a larger percentage of the barley acreage was irrigated ; a sharp expan-
sion of its acreage since then has been largely on dry land. A small propor-
tion of the wheat, corn, rye, and flax acreage usually comes under irrigation.
