2 Montana Agricultural Statistics Districts On the Cover In the foreground, seed potatoes being planted on Schutter Seed Farm in Manhattan, MT. In the background, a potato field. The Schutter s operate a diversified potato, grain, and pea operation and produce seed potatoes certified through the Montana Certified Seed Potato program. Montana produces around 0,000 acres of seed potatoes annually which accounts for 0 to 5 percent of the seed potatoes in the United States. Montana s mountain valleys are ideal for producing high quality, disease-free seed potatoes by taking advantage of geographical isolation and distance from commercial potato production.

6 COMMENTS FROM OUR GOVERNOR Agriculture in Montana is growing locally, nationally, and internationally. It is great to see the progress and innovation by our farmers and ranchers. Agriculture is the backbone of our state economy and vital to our rural communities. The importance of agriculture to our state is part of the reason that it was included in my Main Street Montana Project. The project is designed to leverage Montana s unique strengths, and tackle the challenges that slow business, job, and wage growth. It is a business plan for Montana, created by Montanans. Part of that plan incorporates promoting and adding value to the agricultural products grown and produced in Montana, as well as incorporating more local food into our schools. We already know we grow the best food in the world now it is time to promote and integrate high quality Montana products to new markets and add to producers bottom-line. As Governor, I am committed to helping Montana s farmers, ranchers, and agriculture businesses find and profit from opportunities that arise. If you have ideas or suggestions for business opportunities, feel free to send me a note on the website, or give my office a call at (40) Sincerely, Steve Bullock Governor Foreword 4 04 Montana Agricultural Statistics

7 Agriculture in Montana has had quite a run in recent years. Producers continue to find ways to diversify and add value to the products that they grow. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Ingenuity and innovation helped Montana agriculture outperform the nation. With the new five year census of agriculture released earlier this year, we have the metrics to see how agriculture has performed in our state and around the country. Montana producers increased the value of what they sold by 59% from 00 to, while producers nationally increased their production value by 9%. Montana producers are finding ways to make a go of it in spite of input prices and the economic downturn a few years ago. In addition to our continued efforts both domestically and internationally, part of what we have focused on at the department has been promoting pulse crops like dry peas and lentils, now valued at over $00 million annually. In fact, Montana has been the number one producer of dry peas and lentils three years running. The tremendous growth in pulse and other specialty crops has tripled our specialty crop block grant monies from USDA, allowing for more crop research and market development that will continue to move Montana agriculture forward. Montana still produces the highest quality wheat, durum, sugar beets, barley, and beef among others. The high quality agriculture products we grow and produce continue to be the foundation of our economy and will be for the foreseeable future. You can support your local farmer by purchasing Grown in Montana products. As always, if you have an idea, contact the department at agr@mt.gov or call (40) Updates to this annual Montana Agricultural Statistics bulletin, produced in cooperation with the National Agricultural Statistics Service, are available electronically at Ron de Yong, Director, Montana Department of Agriculture I proudly introduce the 5 th edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin. The crop year faced warm and limited precipitation though out the year, but when precipitation was received hail often accompanied the storm. Montana recorded a record amount of acreage damaged by hail. The Census of Agriculture was released in May 04! The Census of Agriculture provides an inclusive look at Montana agriculture at a state and county level. Montana producers have shared their success and the changing face of Montana Agriculture. Take a minute and visit our website to view some of the highlights or the whole report. NOTES FROM THE STATE STATISTICIAN Working cooperatively within Montana allows USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) the ability to achieve the goal of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture. NASS partners with Montana Department of Agriculture, Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, Montana Woolgrowers Association, and the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee, among others. Thank you to all of Montana s farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses that made this publication possible. Thank you to all the producers and commodity groups that I have the opportunity to meet, work, and socialize with throughout the year. I would also like to recognize National Association of State Departments of Agriculture employees across the state and the NASS staff (current and retired) for everything you do to make this publication possible.

10 Crop, Livestock, and Weather Digest, January: Montana had cold weather with occasional snow storms in January. Average low temperatures were degrees to lower 0s, while high temperatures ranged from the upper 0s to the upper 50s. West Yellowstone had the monthly low of minus 9 degrees. At month s end, snow cover protectiveness on winter wheat fields was percent fair to excellent, compared to last year s percent. Winter wheat crop conditions were 4 percent good to excellent, with minimal wind, freeze, and drought damage. Most livestock received supplemental feeding. Calving and lambing had just begun at the end of the month. February: The state was warmer than last month, with average low temperatures in the lower 0s to mid 0s. High temperatures ranged from the upper 0s to the upper 50s. West Yellowstone had the monthly low of minus 5 degrees, followed by Cooke City and Plentywood at minus 4 degrees. Snowfall was below normal in most areas. At the end of the month, winter wheat crop conditions were percent good to excellent, with little wind, freeze, and drought damage. Most livestock continued to receive supplemental feeding. Calving and lambing were percent and percent complete, respectively, by month s end. March: Montana was mostly dry during March, except for the northeast area which received near to above normal snowfall. Temperatures were below normal, with lows well below zero to the upper teens during the last week in March. Topsoil and subsoil moisture conditions were 5 percent and 4 percent adequate, respectively, at month s end. Winter wheat crop conditions were 50 percent good to excellent, ahead of last year and the five-year average. Despite cold weather, calving and lambing were in full swing by the end of the month. Nearly all livestock continued to receive supplemental feeding. April: The first week of April was warm with limited precipitation. Wet, cold, and snowy conditions delayed spring planting for the next two weeks. Warm, dry weather allowed producers back into the fields at the end of the month. Winter wheat crop conditions were 5 percent good to excellent. Calving and lambing were approaching completion. At month s end, range and pasture feed conditions were well below last year and the five-year average. Livestock movement to summer ranges had just begun. May: Montana was warm and dry the first half of the month. Field work was well underway and producers made good progress seeding spring crops. Cool, rainy weather prevailed the last half of the month. Winter wheat conditions were mostly good to excellent, but crop development lagged behind last year and the five-year average. Range and pasture feed conditions improved with all the rain. Livestock movement to summer ranges was well underway by month s end. June: The state had both cool, rainy weather and warm, sunny days during June. Some producers reported severe thunderstorms with hail. The first cutting of hay began mid-month. Winter wheat crop conditions were percent good to excellent at the end of the month, with percent of the crop headed. Spring grains were in good to excellent condition. Ranchers had moved nearly all cattle and sheep to summer pastures by month s end. July: The weather was hot and dry during the month. High temperatures ranged from the upper 0s to low 00s. A series of thunderstorms caused hail damage to wheat and pulse crops in several areas of the state. Flash flooding occurred in some locations. Hot, sunny days helped crop development considerably. Farmers began harvesting winter wheat toward the end of the month. The first cutting of alfalfa and other hay was nearing completion. Range and pasture feed conditions were 5 percent good to excellent, significantly higher than last year. August: Montana had warm weather with scattered precipitation during the first part of August. Some areas of the state received heavy rains and hail mid-month, while other parts remained dry. Producers reported moderate to severe hail damage to crops. Hot, dry conditions prevailed the rest of the month. Winter wheat harvest was nearly wrapped up and harvest of other small grains was in full swing by month s end. The second cutting of alfalfa and other hay was approaching completion. Movement from summer pastures was underway. September: September was a wet month with hot days changing to cooler, autumn weather during the last couple of weeks of the month. Afternoon storms delayed harvest in several areas of the state but provided good soil moisture conditions for next season s winter wheat seedings. Ranchers began moving livestock off summer ranges at a much slower pace than the previous year thanks to above average range conditions. October: Montana had mostly mild days and cold nights with precipitation in the form of both rain and snow throughout the month of October. The combination of mild conditions and scattered precipitation delayed the need to provide livestock with supplemental feed and allowed ranchers to continue slowly moving their animals from summer pastures. Rain continued to slow corn harvest but provided ideal conditions for winter wheat planting and emergence. November: The month of November was windy with above average day temperatures and the occasional snow storm across much of the state of Montana. Producers wrapped up winter wheat seeding and have some concern over the lack of snow cover leading into the winter. Ranchers largely finished moving livestock off summer ranges but were still not doing a lot of supplemental feeding due to decent pasture conditions. December: The beginning of December saw a prolonged cold snap of subzero temperatures intensified by significant wind chill factors, freezing rain in some locations, and snow fall. The second half of the month was much more mild and dry but many areas still had high winds. Due to these extreme conditions, most ranchers were providing supplemental feed to their livestock by the end of the month. Winter wheat came through the month largely unscathed thanks to mostly adequate snow cover prior to the deep freeze. General 04 Montana Agricultural Statistics
