BOZEMAN, Montana, May 7, 2020 — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that FSA offers farm ownership and farm operating loans to agricultural producers who may not find success obtaining loans from their traditional financial institutions because of COVID-19.

Silvertip Propane has offered propane service to Roundup since 2008. Located on Highway 87, just north of Roundup. The business is not locally owned; however, it does employ locally.

Jay's favorite thing to do outside of work is going to his children's games....

TRUTH AND LIES We live in a strange time. A new adventure for most of us. Few people are still alive from the great depression in the 1920’s, but I was fortunate enough to know many of them who willingly shared their experiences with me. A time of no jobs, a time of famine, a time of having to live on a shoestring, a time of hopelessness for many. One couple in my church were blessed to be able to come to Fort Peck and work on the dam that was being there. They told me about the shacks they had to live in, the scarcity of food, but they had a...

More evidence has emerged from several sources,including those from Allies in western Europe,that Wuhan virus was made in a LAB in Wuhan China.Mother Earth has already given man-kind enough disease to contend with,so any nation that creates a deadly virus,did so on purpose.We are getting a open front door image of how a communist nation like China thinks and acts in order to get power and dominance over others. Tragically,we see the Liberal Progressives taking advantage of virus to control you and I through lies and deception,and worse of all,f...
So many politicians say they will cut spending and reign in out-of-control government bureaucracy. Matt Rosendale is a proven economic conservative who has actually done it. Matt has a record of reducing spending in the legislature and the Auditors Office. As our State Auditor, Matt cut operating expenses by 23% and eliminated vacant bureaucratic positions. What’s more, Matt has refused to a taxpayer-funded pay raise every single time. How many politicians have you known that would refuse a taxpayer-funded pay raise? Matt has, because he’s not...
By MTGOP Chairman Don “K” Kaltschmidt On the eve of the Treasure State’s most bustling season, Montanans are looking with uncertainty at the road ahead. An additional 15,000 Montanans filed unemployment claims during the week ending in April 25th due to Coronavirus-related restrictions, bringing the then-total to nearly 100,000 newly unemployed Montanans and our unemployment rate per capita soaring. Fortunately, over the last month, the Trump Administration and our Republican leaders in Congress have helped secure critical economic relie...
A few days ago two Michigan police officers visited a mother that had allowed her daughter to play with the child next door in their backyard. They demanded to know why she was not enforcing the governments’ stay at home order. They demanded her name which she refused to give as she “has done nothing wrong.” For this she was cited as being uncooperative. The video of the incident showed them treating her with pure contempt (Tucker Carlson Tonight, May 1, 2020). This should never happen in America. The Constitution gives government agents no su...
Writing at Reason magazine, Eric Boehm notes two trends revealed in data released by Apple and Foursquare. Trend One: Americans began reducing their outings and social interactions before, not because of, "shelter in place" orders issued by grandstanding, opportunistic politicians. Trend Two: Americans started coming back out and resuming something like normal life before, not because, those politicians started lifting those orders. In other words, with COVID-19 as with everything else, government policy is a trailing, rather than leading,...

May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month and a busy time for gardening and other outdoor activities. Garden-ing provides many benefits but like any outdoor activity it’s important to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays.

And even though it’s the most common form of cancer in the U.S. it is also one of the most preventable. Help reduce this percentage and keep yourself and others safe with a bit...

No, no, it's not bad type-setting or that your reporters had a fit; we shall explain. The initial phrase of Norway's National Song is, "Ja, vi elsker dette landet," which means, "Yes, we love this nation," and they imply Norway, of course. We modified the Norwegian a little to give, "Yes, they loved this nation," and we mean the United States, because this article and the next one, concern Norwegian immigrants that grew to love their new country, the USA. "The Prairie Princess," a striking...
