The governor’s proclamation:

WHEREAS, agriculture is Montana’s number one industry with more than 27,000 farms and ranches across the state; and

WHEREAS, one of our greatest sources of pride as Montanans is the world-class products grown, raised, or made here in the Treasure State; and

WHEREAS, Montana’s farmers and ranchers work tirelessly to feed our nation and the world, overcoming fires and floods, wind and hail, abnormal dry seasons, and frigid winters; and

WHEREAS, agriculture is an economic driver for Montana communities, helping define our Montana way of life;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Greg Gianforte, Governor of the State of Montana, do hereby proclaim March 2024

MONTANA AGRICULTURE MONTH
