How many of these multi-generational family ranches here in Montana got their start by a soldier returning from war? Have you heard the latest desperate, anti-veteran attack against Navy SEAL veteran Tim Sheehy?
Jocelyn Cahill: "I've talked to many ranchers dealing with this same nonsense. They're scared to use water on state leases, because they fear DNRC will come for them."
With 7.16 people per square mile, Montana DOES have more cows than people. Farming and ranching is still incredibly important across the entire state. (We've got 2.51 cattle per person, BTW.)
No matter where you travel across Montana and North Dakota you'll see the combines rolling. It's payday for farmers after a year of waiting for the crop to come in.
I am constantly preaching every day in the early morning for people to keep their heads up, and keep fighting, it's all worth it. Sometimes I question that myself. I'm struggling but I'm fighting.
