TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMMENTS FROM

OUR GOVERNOR

Welcome to this year’s edition of Montana 2015 Agricultural Statistics. Montana agriculture is the backbone of our state’s economy and vital to our rural communities. Farmers and ranchers across the state continue to show their resiliency by diversifying and adapting. Agriculture helped our state’s economy continue to grow at record pace, with low unemployment and historic wage growth.

We are always working to advance, promote and increase agriculture in Montana. In addition to the Main Street Montana Project, two state-funded research grants were awarded to Montana State University College of Agriculture. These projects are going to look at developing precision agricultural techniques

geared towards our state and converting more fallow ground into pulse production.

We are excited to continue to lead the nation in pulse production, and be a leader in high-quality wheat, barley, and beef genetics production among others. Through innovation and adaptive technologies, we can continue to increase yields more efficiently and effectively.

Thank you to all our farmers and ranchers for the work they do to provide the world with affordable, safe, healthy food. As always, if you have ideas or suggestions for agriculture development or business opportunities, feel free to send me a note on the www.governor.mt.gov website, or give my office a call at (406) 444-3111.

Sincerely,

STEVE BULLOCK

Governor

Foreword 4 2015 Montana Agricultural Statistics

MESSAGE FROM

THE DIRECTOR

Montana agriculture continues to lead. Through price fluctuation and extreme weather, agriculture is persevering and growing by diversifying, adapting, and innovating. I am excited for the year ahead as we continue to develop new technologies and expand production. Again this year, Montana is the leading producer of dry peas and lentils, good

rotational crops for wheat. Farmers planted record acres of both of these pulses just in time for the 2016 International Year of the Pulse, which should continue to drive demand for these crops. Montana State University has established a Regional Pulse Diagnostic Lab to help producers identify and control pulse diseases and pests. Montana still produces the highest quality wheat, sugar beets, barley, beef, seed potatoes, canola, and organics among other crops. As an industry we must continue to look for ways to promote and advance agriculture. Finding niche markets and adding value to the products we raise and grow will only bolster agriculture for years to come.

With renewed emphases on knowing where and how our food is grown, Montana producers are uniquely positioned with our clean water, fresh air, and wide-open spaces to capitalize on our diversified production. We are encouraging folks to support local farmers and ranchers by purchasing ‘Grown in Montana’ products. The high quality agriculture products grown and produced in Montana continue to be the foundation of our state’s economy and rural communities. If you have an idea, don’t hesitate to contact the department at [email protected] or call (406) 444-3144. Updates to this annual Montana Agricultural Statistics bulletin, produced in cooperation with the National Agricultural Statistics Service, are available electronically at www.nass.usda.gov/mt.

NOTES FROM THE

STATE STATISTICIAN


I proudly introduce the 52th edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin. The 2014 crop year started off looking like a record year for yields. A mid-August storm quickly changed the tune in Montana to one of a tale of two crops: harvested before the storm and harvested after the storm. Problems of sprouting wheat and barley, and moldy hay were encountered almost statewide.

This publication is the collimation of a year’s worth of data collection and analysis.

While this book is filled with interesting facts and figures, it also contains the story of Montana Agriculture. Many producers volunteered their time and information to give the most current picture of the health of agricultural community.

USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) works cooperatively with many partners with many organizations across the state. Using this cooperative agreement gives NASS the ability to achieve the goal of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture. NASS works closely with other federal agencies, the State of Montana, and farm commodity groups in order to produce the best product possible.

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.

current-year sales. 2/ Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's

contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. Net farm income is the farm operator’s share of income from the sector’s production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and

Development. 3/ Sheep and Lambs moved to miscellaneous livestock beginning in 2010. 4/ Details may not add due to rounding. SOURCE: Economic Indicators of the Farm
