Montana Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Hanson, a White Sulphur Springs rancher, had the opportunity to discuss issues of concern with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Secretary Jon Tester during a breakfast meeting with 19 other ag producers and industry leaders yesterday morning in Helena.

Montana congressman, Denny Rehberg, introduced legislation Thursday that would exempt the State of Montana from the Federal Antiquities Act, a law that allows the Nation’s President to designate land as a national monument, without the approval of Congress or State Legislatures.
