My friend, born and raised in Glendive, and tough as railroad spikes, jumped about three feet in the air and let out a scream heard in the next ZIP code. Everyone has their fears, phobias and hatreds when it comes to the natural world. Take your pick: from big grizzly bears down to swift snakes and its...

Where are your dollars going every month? More specifically, where are your food dollars are going? Montanans spend more than $3 billion dollars per year on food. Up until 2010, the value of all the livestock and crops produced by farms and ranches in Montana was $3 billion. Of all the food consumed in Montana, only about 10% of what Montanans eat is produced in the state. Again, Montanans only eat 10% of food produced locally.
