Montana s Delegation Asks Biden For Drought Assistance For Farmers, Ranchers
Montana’s congressional delegation is asking the Biden administration to help farmers deal with extreme drought conditions as the state heats up.
Republicans Matt Rosendale and Steve Daines have one idea on how to handle it. Democrat Jon Tester has another.
Raylee Honeycutt with the Montana Stockgrowers Association says the drought is threatening the livelihood of ranching families and rural areas across Montana.
“It’s really a devastating aspect for ranching operations across the state,” she says.
Her comments come after Rep. Matt Rosendale and Sen. Steve Daines sent a letter to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland Wednesday, urging her office to open emergency grazing within central Montana’s Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge.
