Jay Bodner, Montana Stockgowers Association Interim Executive Vice President Water rights are the cornerstone of our agricultural economy. Without certainty, protection for existing water right holders, and a plan to define the federally reserved water rights of the tribes, Montana’s water users would be forced to foot the bill for decades of costly litigation and risk losing their existing water rights. That’s why we support the CSKT Water Compact and why we believe it is critical that our Congressional delegation act now to ratify the agr...

Interestingly, the game Shanighai Rummy was never introduced to me before. This week I was taught the game and I do believe it will take me some time to get the hang of it.

If you or anyone you know is interested in being a board member please let Rochelle and or Marlane know so we can get your name on the ballot. We are also voting for Senior of the Year 2018. T...
