Here’s a Toast to the Western Way of Life

The Montana Agri-Trade Exposition (MATE) show starts today in Billings, so here's a toast to everyone one who makes sure we have plentiful food on our tables.

The prices you pay are the cheapest in the world. The amount of food and abundance of stores is like nowhere else in the world. I know firsthand how trying, yet rewarding the western way of life can be. Long hours, low prices, weather disasters, one thing after another.

It seems that only about three years in 10 are good, but they'll all tell you, it's the best life and they wouldn't trade it for anything.

So here's to you, THANKS....
