The Milliondollarway.blogspot.com is reporting: Another billion-dollar wheat crop in Montana. The Billings Gazette is reporting:
Montana appears headed for another billion-dollar wheat crop, though wet weather has dramatically slowed spring harvest in the northern counties.
A billion dollars is the high-water mark for wheat values, achieved only six times in state history, but five times since 2007 as commodities prices have surged. Agriculture is the state’s single largest economic sector, representing about 13 percent of Montana economic activity. One in five Montana jobs is tied to agriculture.
Pastor Dewey Note: Good economic news for Montana which also has an oil boom going on in the Eastern part of the state. Montana and North Dakota certainly are being blessed with a good economy. I also have to mention that with the oil boom, crime has risen in the whole area of Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota. Let us pray over that. If you are looking for a job and are mobile you may want to consider the oil fields of MonDak. I worked radio in Sidney, Montana and Williston, North Dakota during the oil boom of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
