The photo was taken at Indreland Angus Ranch near Big Timber,

Montana in the fall of 2011. Roger and Betsy Indreland, along

with their daughters Anne and Kate, raise purebred Angus cattle.

They also sell naturally dry-aged beef straight from the ranch to

online customers and farmer's markets attendees. Montana is

home to thousands of hard-working families, like the Indrelands,

who produce top quality beef for the world. Many of these

ranches have been in the family for more than 100 years, serving

as a cherished lifestyle for many generations.

COMMENTS FROM

OUR GOVERNOR

Montana farmers and ranchers usually cope with a certain amount of volatility in weather, commodity prices and other inputs, but 2011 had a bit of everything. Floods, drought, crop pest outbreaks and price volatility made it a challenging year, but in the end for many, a prosperous one. Delays in spring planting due to floods reduced Montana's 2011 production of staples such as spring wheat and durum, while high prices for hay helped push the value of Montana production to more than $3 billion for a

second consecutive year. Montana farmers led the nation in pea and lentil production in 2011, and also increased production of other rotation crops such as chickpeas, canola and flax. Acreage reports for 2012 show continued growth in rotation crops. This increased diversity serves as a hedge against weather and market volatility and demonstrates the innovation and resilience so necessary for today’s agricultural producers.

The 2012 crop year has brought its own challenges. Global economic issues, fertilizer prices and a return to drought conditions and damaging fires in much of southern Montana threaten farm and ranch balance sheets. Montana’s producers will meet these myriad challenges and continue to drive Montana’s successful economic engine. I’m very grateful for the enormous contributions our agriculture producers make to the state and to their communities. The longstanding traditions of hard work, optimism, determination that exemplify Montana’s

agricultural industry are an integral part of our state’s history and key to Montana’s future.

Sincerely,

Brian Schweitzer, Governor

Foreword 4 2012 Montana Agricultural Statistics

MESSAGE FROM

THE DIRECTOR

A combination of early flooding and drought later in the 2011 growing season hampered what promised to be an excellent year for Montana farmers and ranchers, but it was a good year overall with excellent prices for hay and grain. Montana surpassed North Dakota as the leading pea and lentil producer in 2011, and the state's reputation in grain and pulse crops attracted several new buyers

to set up shop in our borders. Competition is good when it comes to markets for Montana's high quality staples such as wheat, barley, hay and livestock. Markets for some Montana products increased with little fanfare. During the past two years, Montana livestock producers have sold more than $20 million in live cattle, embryos and semen to a burgeoning market in Russia, with more exports predicted during the coming year. The Montana Department of Agriculture is working hard to increase exports and domestic sales of value-added products. Visit a local farmers market to see some of the new products your neighbors are creating to help grow Montana's agricultural economy.

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.

Sincerely,

Ron de Yong, Director, Montana Department of Agriculture

NOTES FROM

THE DIRECTOR

I proudly introduce the 49th edition of the Montana Agricultural Statistics Bulletin. Montana is a state of extremes. Whether faced with excessive moisture and flooding in 2011 or fire and drought conditions in 2012, a compilation of production results is necessary to tell the story of Montana’s farmers and ranchers. This publication tells this story to legislators, agribusinesses, academics, reporters, and producers who all follow the basic premise that more information is better than less, especially when

making decisions with an economic impact.

This era in which we operate dictates that the safeguarding of public funds remain a priority. Working cooperatively with allows the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) the ability to achieve the goal of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture. To that end, NASS partners with Montana Department of Agriculture, Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, Montana Woolgrowers Association, and the Montana Alfalfa Seed Committee, among others. This year, I am pleased to announce that NASS has opened a data lab on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman. This data lab will provide better access to data by researchers while continuing to safeguard the confidentiality of our agricultural producers. Finally, the biggest cooperator which NASS has in the state of Montana is our agricultural producers. Compiling the collective voice of farmers and ranchers is a

privilege which I do not take lightly.

The 2012 Census of Agriculture is coming! At the end of 2012, nearly 40,000 agricultural operations and potential agricultural operations with the state of Montana will be mailed a questionnaire. If you are an agricultural operator, please watch for it and do your part in telling the story of Montana agriculture through your participation.

Steve Anderson, Director, USDA, NASS, Montana Field Office

Department Mission

"To protect producers and consumers and to

enhance and develop agriculture and allied

industries."

Director Ron de Yong, (406) 444-3144

Central Services Administrator: Libbi H. Lovshin

Attorney: Cort Jensen

Public Information Officer: Ron Zellar

Growth Through Agriculture grants and loans during FY 2012 totaled more than $400,000 to 47 businesses and

individuals for value-added agriculture projects. Food and Agriculture Development Centers assisted 93 clients with

food and farm-derived energy projects.

Marketing assistance during FY 2012 included more than 90 one-on-one company consultations; about

$675,000 in trade show sales; and 23 promotions in out of state trade shows. Marketing staff conducted five over-

seas trade missions and hosted three delegations, resulting in more than $25 million in embryo, semen, and live

animal sales.

Rural Development finance programs have a combined loan portfolio of more than $3.5 million.

State Hail Insurance protected 1.8 million acres in 2012, an increase from the previous year's record 1.5 million

acres when wet weather prevented planting in some areas.

State Grain Laboratory completed nearly 34,000 tests for grade, protein, germination, baking qualities, vomi-

toxin and other characteristics on wheat, barley and 20 other commodities, including more than 3,000 inspections

on peas, beans and lentils. The Great Falls facility, with a branch office in Plentywood, is the only federally licensed

grain lab in Montana.

Wheat & Barley Committee annually hosts an average of 13 foreign trade delegations and 63 visitors from

seven nations that have an interest in purchasing Montana grains. The Committee represents producers on trans-

portation issues, research, and market development.

Department Programs & Background

Montana Department of Agriculture operates some 30 programs, many funded entirely through user fees. These

include regulatory programs that protect producers, consumers and the environment, as well as development and

marketing programs to foster growth in Montana agriculture. The Director's Office also serves as an advocate for

Montana agriculture in national and international forums and works to make the department's programs accessible

to the public.

prior years included in 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 act ivities. The concept pre-sented is consistent with that employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 3/ Sheep and Lamb moved to all other live-
