Denizens of Southeastern Montana, and indeed much of the state, are enjoying one of the finest and most prolific spring growing seasons in memory and in fact in history. Dryland alfalfa hay is one of the finest, following years of semi-drought, with 2017 ranked as one of the worst years ever. With the abundant rain, western wheat grass is now heading out too, belly-button high on a tall horse. Grain crops are showing strong also. Ranchers are still busy dodging storms to get their hay up.

Dear Billy, The immensity of what my country is doing to certain unfortunate families has just begun to soak in to my mind. I didn’t think it could happen here.

I see nothing but an indefensible power play that will leave a black mark on our national conscience for the rest of time and haunt countless people for the rest of their lives. Sincerely, Marie G...

According to tallies, 714 paddlefish were processed at Intake fishin...
