Sunflowers were used by American Indians fi)r fl^od, oil, and livestock feed. The scientific name for sunflowers, Helianthus, is derived from Helia (sun) and Anthus (flower.) In 2004, Montana farmers harvested 4,500 acres of sunflowers, which yielded 97 5 pounds per acre and 4, 388, 000 pounds for total production. Montana producers set a record yield in 2004, surpassing the previous record set in 1 999. Many Montana producers are looking for niche markets in which alternative crops like sunflowers will provide more opportunities, both economically and as part of their crop rotational plans. The organic sunflowers on the cover were grown on Robert and Eric Boettcher's Rob- An Farm. Inc. in Chouteau Countv, Montana.

For years, this state has ranked among the top producers of cereal grains, beef cows, sheep and lambs. The state's leadership position also extends to lesser-known crops including dry peas, lentils, flaxseed, honey and sugar beets. And, our producers are leading the way in establishing new oil seed crops such as camelina that hold potential for biofuels and industrial lubricants. The Montana Agricultural Statistics book has been invaluable to me as a farmer and rancher. I use it now as I work to promote Montana products and the state's potential in the agriculture industry. I am committed to working with you and all Montanans to grow our economy and move Montana forward. Your personal interest in agriculture, and commitment to add value to our agricultural products is a value I share. I welcome your ideas as we all look to identify opportunities. Please feel free to visit our website at governor.mt.gov or give us a call at 406-444-3111 and please stop by when you are in Helena - the door is always open! .Sincerely, Brian Schweitzefvlpovernor 2005 Montana Agricultural Statistics Foreword 3 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR I hope you find this annual book of statistics about Montana agriculture as invaluable as I have over the years. Infornnation about Montana's crops, the number of acres planted and harvested, irrigation, livestock, national rankings, exports, prices and trends provide a lot of insights into the condition of our number one industry, its past and its future. Montana is more than a leading producer of wheat, barley and beef calves. Our producers are steadily increasing their production of alternative crops such as dry peas, lentils, flax and organics. Montana's diversified agriculture includes honey, sweet cherries, seed potatoes, mint and alfalfa seed. Growers are experimenting with oil seed crops for processing into specialty products and bio-fuels. More women have become the principal operators of farms and ranches in recent years - an increase of 27 percent in the latest Census of Agriculture compared to the 1997 census. The numbers contained in this annual report have credibility because they are generated from detailed surveys that our Montana Agricultural Statistics Office conducts with producers from throughout the state. Updates are provided electronically and through news releases provided throughout the year. Through careful consideration of our state's strengths and opportunities, Montana agricultural producers are leading the state into an exciting future. Sincerely, Nancy K. Peterson, Director, Montana Department of Agriculture Notes from the Director 1 Bl 1 1 Pi 1 1 r;-/* ■^ ■ r ^ k ,.J .A\ A^^^H The USDA, MASS, Montana Field Office is pleased to publish the 42"'^ edition of Montana Agricultural Statistics.

The division also registers 2,698 pet food products, 1,200 fertilizers, and 5,030 bee yards. The passage of the Montana Agricultural Chemical Ground Water Protection Act (1990) charges the department to protect ground water and the environment from impairment or degradation due to the use of agricultural chemicals. The Vertebrate Pest Management program provides on-site demonstrations, educational materials and technical bulletins to assist producers in reducing damage caused by field rodents, birds and other large mammals. The Weed Management program is responsible for administering statewide efforts aimed at control and/or eradication of noxious and other undesirable weeds. The Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage Program provides a certification mechanism that allows producers to market various forage crops as being noxious weed seed free. The Agricultural Development Division (ADD) is responsible for administering programs directed at promoting and enhancing Montana agriculture. Within the Division are four bureaus, the Rural Development Bureau, the Wheat and Barley Bureau, the Agriculture Marketing and Business Development Bureau, and the Montana State Grain Laboratory Bureau. Councils and Boards attached to the Agriculture Development Division include the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee, Agriculture Development Council, Montana Potato Advisory Committee, Wheat and Barley Committee, State Hail Insurance Board, and Agriculture in Montana Schools. Statewide agricultural statistics and projections are developed through a Federal/State cooperative agreement with the National Agriculture Statistics Service administered through the division. This information is made available through a comprehensive agricultural statistics bulletin and grain movement summary along with other production, price and income reports. The Rural Development Bureau serves Montana through the Agriculture Finance Program, the Commodity Check-Off Enabling Act, the State Hail Insurance Program, and Montana Agricultural Statistics Service. The Bureau is charged with assisting producers and entrepreneurs in enhancing our agricultural industry and the Montana economy. The Agriculture Finance program is responsible for making grants and lower interest rate loans for rural youth, rural youth organizations, and other qualified farmers and ranchers. The Agriculture Finance Program also provides funds for Rural Community Development Grants, Building Our American Communities, and the Young Ag Couples Conference. The State Hail Insurance Program insures any crop grown in Montana from losses caused by hail damage. The Program was established in 1917 to provide producers with basic hail insurance coverage to protect producers input costs. The Agriculture Marketing and Business Development Bureau is responsible for market enhancement and development through direct market development activities, grants, and seed capital loan investments in new and innovative products or process, marketing, and product development. Marketing and agri-business development personnel work closely with individuals and organizations to promote and enhance our agriculture industry. The Montana State Grain Laboratory Bureau is located in Great Falls and operates the only official USDA-Federal Grain Inspection Service grain grading and inspection laboratory in the state of Montana. The lab provides unbiased grain inspection, grading, analytical services, and oil seed analysis to the state's grain industry. The Montana Wheat and Barley Bureau is responsible for marketing, promoting and encouraging intensive scientific and practical research in all phases of wheat and barley culture and production under the guidelines and policies developed by the Wheat and Barley Committee. 2005 Montana Agricultural Statistics General 5 Crop, Livestock, and Weather Digest, 2004 January: During January, Montana had sub-zero temperatures and snowfall in most areas. Kalispell received the most precipitation at 1.97 inches. Snow cover provided good protection and moisture for the winter wheat crop. At month's end, winter wheat conditions were rated mostly fair to good. Livestock grazing was reported at 16% open, compared to 81% open last year. Calving and lambing had just begun by the end of the month. February: Montana had normal temperatures for the month and below normal snowfall in most areas. Ekalaka and Hardin received the most precipitation at 1.25 inches each. Ample snow cover provided protection for the winter wheat crop. At month's end, winter wheat conditions were rated mostly fair to good. Livestock producers reported only 28% of the pastures open for grazing at the end of February. One hundred percent of both cattle and calves and sheep and lambs were receiving supplemental feed. Calving and lambing were 20% and 10% complete, respectively. March: Montana's weather was warm and dry in March. The winter wheat crop was mostly in good to fair condition at month's end. Mild weather allowed farmers to start seeding spring grains. Grazing was reported 60% open at the end of the month, compared to 72% open last year. One hundred percent of both cattle and calves and sheep and lambs continued to receive supplemental feed. Calving and lambing were 52% and 39% complete, respectively. April: Montana received scattered rain throughout the state during the month. Winter wheat conditions were below the five-year average at month's end due to lack of moisture and winter kill. Warm and mostly dry weather allowed producers to make good seeding progress with spring crops. By the end of the month, livestock grazing was 80% open. Due to dry range and pasture conditions, 66% of the cattle and calves and 58% of the sheep and lambs were receiving supplemental feed. Calving and lambing were nearing completion. May: Warm, dry weather continued until the second week in May when much needed rain and snow fell throughout the state. Precipitation and lower temperatures prevailed the rest of the month. Turner received the most precipitation for May at 2.92 inches. As a result of wet, cool conditions, spring planting and crop progress slowed down. Some producers in eastern Montana had to replant their sugar beets because of a hard freeze. At month's end, 55% of the cattle and calves and 60% of the sheep and lambs had been moved to summer pastures. June: The weather was warm and dry the first week in June. Rain showers fell across the state the rest of the month. Bozeman received the most precipitation at 2.61 inches. The widespread moisture and cooler temperatures improved crop conditions for almost all small grains but slowed crop progress. At month's end, nearly all the cattle and calves and sheep and lambs were moved to summer ranges. Range and pasture feed conditions improved slightly with the precipitation but were still behind last year and the five-year average at the end of the month. July: Hot, dry weather prevailed across Montana in July. Miles City set the high at 107 degrees. Winter wheat was 11% harvested at the end of the month, significantly behind last year and the 5-year average. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was nearly complete, and the second cutting was underway by the end of the month. In response to the summer weather, range and pasture feed conditions declined. August: Most of the state received significant rainfall the first part of the month. Baker received the most precipitation at 2.92 Inches. Conditions turned mild and dry at mid-month, which helped crop development. Rainfall across the state during the rest of the month, along with cooler temperatures, slowed the spring grain harvest. At month's end, the spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, and oats harvest progress was well behind last year. Winter wheat was 95% harvested. Range and pasture feed conditions improved slightly with the September: During the first part of the month, limited rainfall, warmer temperatures, and a relatively dry week allowed producers to speed up spring grains harvest. Rain showers fell across the state the rest of the month. West Glacier received the most precipitation at 2.11 inches. Farmers took advantage of the good soil moisture conditions to plant winter wheat. By month's end, winter wheat was 86% seeded, ahead of last year and the 5-year average. Spring grain harvest was nearing completion, except for durum wheat, which was 68% harvested. At the end of the month, 45% of the cattle and calves and 51% of the sheep and lambs had been moved from summer ranges. October: Montana had warm temperatures and limited precipitation the first half of the month. During the third week, the weather was cooler and rain fell in most areas of the state. As a result, the 2005 winter wheat crop condition was rated 75% good to excellent. At month's end, durum wheat was 95% harvested, compared to 100% harvested last year. Dry beans, sugar beets, and potato harvest came to a close. By the end of the month, 75% of the cattle and calves and 83% of the sheep and lambs were moved off summer ranges. November: Temperatures were above normal for the month with limited precipitation throughout the state. By the end of the month, 98% of the winter wheat crop was emerged and 78% was rated in good to excellent condition. At the end of the month, 48% of the cattle and calves and 41% of the sheep and lambs received supplemental feed, fewer than last year. December: Montana had above normal temperatures until the last week of December when colder temperatures and snow arrived.
