Coming in at #2: Former Miss Montana USA Weighs In, Supporting Ag |

Former Miss Montana USA Tahnee Peppenger (pictured above) is speaking out in support of agriculture, and sending a strong message to the Miss USA Pageant.

My wife got lucky the other day when a cow went down on the ice.

Last year, Jon Tester challenged anyone in the media to try to keep up with him for a day. Okay, I'll take the challenge, and I challenge Jon Tester to keep up with me for a day.

The Montana Agri-Trade Expo and Home & Health Show will be going on through Saturday at MetraPark with more than 14,000 visitors expected for the largest Agriculture show in the region.
