COMMENTS FROM

OUR GOVERNOR

August 31, 2016

Welcome to the 2016 edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics. Agriculture is one of the most

important industries in Montana; it’s also one of the most challenging. Low commodity prices and

unpredictable weather have made things tough for many folks, but Montana’s farmers and ranchers

continue to innovate and push forward. Whether it’s diversifying into pulse crops, or taking new

“Grown in Montana” products directly to the consumer, Montana’s farmers and ranchers are a resilient

bunch.

We continue to lead the nation in pulse production and are proud to be a leader in the highest quality

wheat, barley and beef genetics. We will continue to promote research and development so that we can

efficiently and effectively raise yields and reduce operating expenses. As new technologies are developed,

you can bet that Montana’s farmers and ranchers will be at the forefront.

Thanks to all our farmers and ranchers for the work they do to feed the world. 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. I look forward to hearing from

you.

Sincerely,

STEVE BULLOCK

Governor

MESSAGE FROM

THE DIRECTOR

Agriculture is the backbone of Montana’s economy. Despite the current climate of low prices, high operating costs, and extreme weather, Montana’s producers are continuing to grow through careful planning and sustainable farming and ranching practices. Montana continues to be the leading producer of dry peas and lentils, good

rotational crops that have helped our already high-quality wheat. Beef, barley, sugar beets, seed potatoes, canola and organics are some of the commodities that continue to be vital components of our agriculture industry. The high quality agriculture products grown and produced in Montana continue to be the foundation of our state’s economy and rural communities. At the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA), we are always looking for ways to promote and advance agriculture. We are reaching out to folks across the state to find out what they need and how MDA can help them accomplish their goals and reach new markets. Whether it’s through grant funds or direct technical assistance, MDA is working hard on behalf of Montana’s producers and consumers.

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

Foreword 4 2016 Montana Agricultural Statistics

I proudly introduce the 53th edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin. This publication is the culmination 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.

I was recently asked how this data affects them and what benefits are gained from reporting. The first reply is that NASS publications are the foundation for most Government programs, private institutional lending, and private business planning. We talk to many agricultural businesses monthly answering questions and helping them develop business plans to serve the agricultural community. FSA uses County Estimates data for the basis for the ARC and PLC payments, and other disaster payment programs. MSU uses the data to ask for funding grants and to help bolster some of their programs. Pulse crops continue to grow in popularity and acreage and as they have grown, so has interest in pulse data. These are just a few examples of how the data impacts the individual grower. 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
