Now is a good time to be on the lookout for any suspicious pigweeds that could potentially be Palmer amaranth or waterhemp. Both species are very difficult to control and have limited management options, making prevention as well as early detection very important. Vectors of potential introduction of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp include contaminated seed, especially millet, farm equipment, sunflower screenings, bird seed, and more. Be sure to scout areas where these vectors could potentially introduce Palmer amaranth or waterhemp. Look for...
I was asked to write an article about bullying. I looked up all the statistics, all the school policies, and I did this thinking I would just write this informational article. I wrote that article and I now think the best article would be a mom talking about the struggles she has had dealing with bullies on her children and trying not to raise bullies. You cannot always be there to protect your children. There will always be someone out there that is willing to belittle another person for a good laugh or to make them feel better about...

She was born and raised on a Richland County farm and ranch, and she knows the importance of preparation, hard work, and self-discipline. Judge Bidegaray cares deeply about the state of Montana, the rule of law and fundamental fairness, and the...

They've talked about it for years and now Ira and Amy Lake are taking the plunge into the restaurant business. "We've talked about it over the years, ever since the M&M closed.

The plan is for Museum of the Rockies to transport the fossil b...

Bridger Aerospace (BAER) started with four veterans in a barn in Montana. Our next mission became using battlefield technology to serve Americans at home. It was risky. We had zero business experience, but we had grit, our military experience, and supportive family, friends, and fellow veterans. We certainly made mistakes—find me a small business that hasn’t. But we pushed forward, and the results for Montana speak for themselves. Over nine years, our veteran management team built a business ecosystem that created hundreds of new Montana job...
When something is not working, it is time to make a change. Our government is not working well. America is the greatest country on earth, yet we have allowed extremists to play an outsized role in our government. The result has been a lack of common sense and a failure by the government to perform its basic functions at a competent level. The Montana Department of Justice (DOJ), which is led by Attorney General Austin Knudsen, is a prime example. During most of my career as a litigator, the DOJ has been one of the premier law firms in Montana....

Everyone knows that knowledge comes from experience. So, what happens when you bring hundreds of people, each with decades of experience, together? That knowledge becomes power; power to solve problems, enact change, and lift and support seniors across the entire state.

This October, the City of Billings will play host to the 54th Annual Montana Governor’s Conference on Aging at the Bil...
