Montana Agriculture

Fighting for Agriculture - Montana's #1 Industry

"Agriculture remains the number one industry in Montana. During this time of solid prices for our commodities, I’m fighting to maintain a strong safety net of farm programs that will allow our producers to plan for the next crop and the next generation. As a fifth generation Montana rancher, I remain committed to fully implementing mandatory country of origin labeling, increasing our markets abroad, and giving agriculture producers the tools necessary to make a good living and remain active in production agriculture."
