Governor Issues Statewide Drought Emergency
Gianforte described the tinder-dry conditions, especially in eastern Montana.
“Yesterday, I asked the USDA to make sure in their drought designations they include all of Montana,” said Gianforte. “This is really laying the groundwork for getting federal funds for assistance to our agricultural producers. It s been devastating to the producers, and it s had an impact on our tourism industry, particularly as the rivers continue to drop, if we need to shut them down for fishing, then that will impact the tourist industry. So I would just ask folks, again, be careful out there and if you would say a prayer for some rain.”
