Agriculture

If you ask me, there's a ton of it (even more) right here in Montana. As we celebrate National Agricultural Day this month with this year's theme, "Agriculture: Food for Life," we're reminded that there's not only 265,000 head of cattle on Montana's Indian …

No wonder one hears the term "worker bee" so often...it takes our Montana bees 2 MILLION flower visits to produce only 1 pound of honey!  In fact, Montana ranks 2nd in the United States in honey production. How sweet it is. Speaking of sweet, nearly half of the sugar consumed …

I'd submit our Montana wheat is the BEST! In fact, both wheat & barley are Montana #1 cash crop. Montana's in the TOP 5 wheat producing states, & our friends & neighbors over in Choteau County (think Fort Benton) have the #3 wheat producing county in the country! KS…

Just in time for National Agriculture Day on Thursday, March 14th, the Great Falls Tribune reports on the Zenith Colony, 20 miles north of Cut Bank, Cow # 953 had TRIPLETS! Arnie Wurz is the COW BOSS up there, & he's described ol' 5.5 year old ol' 953 as a "sweetheart…

With National Agriculture Day coming up on Thursday, March 14th, & the theme for this year's National Agriculture Day being "Agriculture: Food for Life," I'd like to give a "SHOUT OUT" to our average Montana dairy cow. Did you know these gentle, …

Where does your food come from?
If you're like many Americans, the answer is the grocery store. And frankly, that disturbs me. The grocery store isn't where food comes from - it's just from where it's distributed. In reality, far too many people are unaware of the role of American…
