Montana Department of Agriculture Launches New Pesticide Portal
Portal offers citizens, businesses, and visitors access to government services online
The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA), in partnership with Accela Inc., is announcing the launch of the new Pesticide Portal to deliver information and department services online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In partnership with Accela, Inc., the department can deliver e-government services and provide valuable information to the community while making interactions more efficient, convenient, and interactive.
To use ALL the services the MDA provides, a user must register and create a user account. From here, an individual can view information, get questions answered, and have limited services as an anonymous user. We trust this will provide you with a new, higher level of service that makes living and working in our community a more enjoyable experience.
The new Pesticide Portal can be found at: AGR Pesticide Portal.

Year of the Woman Farmer
Nominations Open
As we look forward to the new year, we are excited to celebrate 2026 as “The International Year of the Woman Farmer”.
The International Year of the Woman Farmer gives the global community a chance to highlight that fact and celebrate the incredibly important role women play in ensuring global food security. In May, 124 Nations around the globe voted for the resolution to make this happen.
Are you a woman in agriculture? Is there a woman in your life that you’d like to recognize? As part of the “International Year of the Woman Farmer”, the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) will be collecting stories statewide to amplify the voices of woman farmers and ranchers.
